Opera goes swimming pool! As the small venue of the Deutsche Oper Berlin is closed at the beginning of the season due to renovation work, the team of the first Tischlerei premiere of the season set out in search of an alternative space. They found what they were looking for in the immediate neighbourhood - the Stadtbad Charlottenburg, just a few steps away.

IMMERSION invites you to literally immerse yourself in a collective ritual experience, as the majority of the audience is in the water with the artists. As a continuation of the successful "Hinterhalt" series, the evening reflects on the themes of the first three new productions on the Deutsche Oper's main stage from a feminist perspective: during the evening, the witches and ghostly creatures from LA FIAMMA, MACBETH and DIE FRAU OHNE SCHATTEN will be conjured up. In the magical atmosphere of the historic swimming pool hall, a hybrid evening is created with the transdisciplinary inclusion of opera singing, contemporary artistry, real-time visuals and techno. IMMERSION is a celebration and a mystical ritual that encourages people to think together about visions of a possible future world.

Following on from IMMERSION at Stadtbad Charlottenburg, this season's "Hinterhalt" series will come to an end in July 2025 under the title EMERSION back at the Tischlerei.
