A Unique Opera Experience with “Die Entführung aus dem Serail”
On July 8th, the Berliner Staatsoper Unter den Linden will transform into an opera living room exclusively for BILDplus customers. This special event features a live broadcast of Mozart’s Die Entführung aus dem Serail at 7 PM, allowing audiences to experience a cultural masterpiece from the comfort of their own homes.
A Fresh Take on a Classic
This production promises to be anything but ordinary. Under the direction of Andrea Moses, Mozart’s work will be infused with modern elements that make it relatable to today’s audience. The standout feature of this particular performance is the inclusion of Bülent Ceylan, a comedian known to millions in Germany, who introduces a comedic flair to the classical opera.
The Role of Bülent Ceylan
Ceylan takes on the role of Bassa Selim, but he goes beyond merely portraying a character. He plays himself initially, creating a bridge between the audience and the opera. This innovative approach allows him to engage with the audience humorously, akin to his gigs in comedy shows. As the performance unfolds, he gradually transitions into the character of Bassa Selim, exemplifying a unique blend of humor and tradition.
Two Worlds Collide
This production serves as a fascinating intersection between the 18th-century opera world and contemporary culture. By beginning as Bülent Ceylan and then morphing into the opera character, Ceylan embodies two distinct worlds. This duality captures the essence of Mozart’s work while integrating modern humor, which resonates with a diverse audience.
What to Expect
Viewers can look forward to an engaging blend of traditional opera elements and modern comedic performance. The orchestration, scenic design, and staging will pay homage to Mozart’s original work while Ceylan’s involvement adds a layer of accessibility and humor, making it appealing even to those who may not be opera enthusiasts.
How to Participate

Conclusion
Die Entführung aus dem Serail with Bülent Ceylan represents a significant evolution in how classical music can be presented and appreciated.
