The beautiful milkmaid or the peep box

Every year, the Privatoper Berlin performs rarely performed operas in places where operas are rarely performed.


This year's production is the opera Das schöne Milchmädchen oder Der Guckkasten by Joseph Woelfl at the Center for Art and Urbanistics (ZK/U).

In 2024, after 225 years, the private opera is bringing Joseph Woelfl's Das schöne Milchmädchen oder Der Guckkasten back to the stage in a production by Ramona Bartsch and under the musical direction of Lars Straehler-Pohl.

Between urban space and supposed rural idyll, the characters move between knowledge and ignorance, secret plan and publicity.

Joseph Woelfl weaves the music to Joseph Richter's libretto with Viennese classicism behind him and romanticism before his eyes. Woelfl, a star in his lifetime from 1773 to 1812, who was in and out of the Mozart family home and fought a legendary piano duel with Beethoven, is an insider tip today and will be remembered tomorrow.
