Baroque World Theater under the Dome of the Peace Church
The Potsdam Winter Opera brings Georg Friedrich Handel's The Resurrection back to the Peace Church Sanssouci in 2027 and transforms the sacred space into a dense stage experience between sorrow, hope, and triumph of life. The performance is scheduled for Saturday, March 6, 2027, at 7:00 PM; a work introduction begins one hour before the show starts.

When Baroque Dramatics Meet Sacred Atmosphere
Handel's work was created in 1708 in Rome and moves tension-filled between oratorio and opera. Angels and devils, Mary Magdalene, Cleofe, and the Evangelist John carry the Passion of the Resurrection as a musical struggle that unfolds its full power in virtuosic arias and colorful orchestral sounds. Particularly in the Peace Church, this score gains a special theatrical atmosphere because architecture, acoustics, and spiritual aura sharpen the dramatic gesture even more.

Direction, Sound, and Staging as a Precisely Built Ensemble
The musical direction is led by Konrad Junghänel, directed by Annika Nitsch, and stage and costumes are the responsibility of Linda Siegismund. This constellation promises not just a mere presentation of the work, but a sonically and visually carefully crafted production, where baroque affects, scenic condensation, and musical tension intertwine. The Potsdam Winter Opera thus remains a format that shapes the city with great operatic art and a clear dramatic signature.

A Special Venue with Cultural Resonance
The Peace Church in Sanssouci Palace Park is not only a place but a player. The Kammerakademie Potsdam returns to this space again due to renovation works at the Palace Theater in the New Palace; this strengthens the impression of a concert and opera evening that connects intimate spatial sound with historical brilliance. Access is not barrier-free; the organizer also refers to extensive information on accessibility as well as travel by public transport and parking at P1 An der Historischen Mühle.
