Kammeroper München
Kammeroper München is an independent ensemble for chamber operas in Munich. The troupe was founded by Christiane Steffens, Christophe Gördes and Carlos Dominguez-Nieto. They have played regularly at the Hubertussaal of Schloss Nymphenburg from 2008, but also use different venues including the Cuvilliés-Theater.
The organisation has engaged young singers to give them the opportunity of stage experience at the beginning of their career. The chamber orchestra players come from Munich stages and orchestras.
Program
The Kammeroper has produced one annual complete opera, as well as additional concerts such as composer portraits and recitals, sometimes with already known singers including Michael Mendl, Michaela May, Sophie von Kessel, Sabine Sauer, Gerd Anthoff, Lisa Wagner, August Zirner, Thomas Loibl, Friedrich von Thun, Johannes Silberschneider, Juliane Banse, Waltraud Meier, Robert Gambill, Günther Groissböck, Daniel Behle and Okka von der Damerau.The operas are often arranged for chamber orchestra, and played with new texts, often in translations into German.
