Fiddler on the Roof is woven into the DNA of the Komische Oper Berlin like few other musicals, with the first East German production under Walter Felsenstein performed an astonishing five hundred times. When Barrie Kosky revived the piece in 2017, the acclaim was immense. In its review, The New York Times wrote that ‘this is quite possibly the most convincing – and least embarrassingly cliché‑ridden – Fiddler imaginable’.

In the shtetl of Anatevka, life is lived strictly according to Jewish tradition. But the milkman Tevye struggles with it. And with his God. And with the stubborn hearts of his three eldest daughters – until pogroms threaten the life of the small village community…

Caught between humour and human suffering, Fiddler on the Roof presents one of the twentieth century’s most life-affirming tales of love, marriage, and misadventure.
