The Love for Three Oranges | |
| Recommendation | The cult production at the Komische Oper is back for the last time this season - maybe even for the very last time! These 3 Oranges will be tossed out of the repertoire for the 2012-13 season since there's a new production at the Deutsche Oper. |

Madama Butterfly | |
| Recommendation | Andris Nelsons is back in town! And this time he's not conducting the Philharmoniker (the next time will be in June), but rather the Berliner Staatskapelle. Nelsons will give his girlfriend Kristïne Opolais the cues: she's singing Cio-Cio-San in Puccini's opera drama. |

Simon Boccanegra | |
| Recommendation | Although - given the boring staging - you should be sure to bring your knitting: the mere presence of Anja Harteros and Plácido Domingo justify inclusion in the TOP 5. Daniel Barenboim is then, so to say, the cherry on top. |

Tannhäuser | |
| Recommendation | After her sensational Isolde, Nina Stemme was won over for the role of Elisabeth. Besides her, the cast includes Albert Dohmen (Herrmann), Torsten Kerl (Tannhäuser), Marina Prudenskaja (Venus) and Christian Gerhaher (Wolfram). |

Die Walküre | |
| Recommendation | Heidi Melton, now a member of the ensemble at the Staatstheater Karlsruhe, will be returning to the DOB as Helmwige. Die Walküre (title role: Catherine Foster) will be performed alone twice; in the next season, there'll be two cycles (one conducted by Donald Runnicles, the other by Simon Rattle). |
