EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures James Klein, the visionary director of the Komische Oper in Berlin during the jazz age of the 1920s. The image, taken in 1928, depicts Klein in the prime of his career, exuding confidence and charisma. With his sharp suit, intense gaze, and a hint of a smile, he embodies the spirit of the vibrant and innovative world of Berlin's cabaret and revue scene. The Komische Oper, founded in 1919, was a pioneering force in the German theatre landscape, known for its avant-garde productions and daring approach to contemporary music and drama. Under Klein's leadership, the company gained international renown, attracting artists, intellectuals, and the city's bohemian elite. The 1920s in Berlin were a time of cultural and artistic ferment, with jazz music and nightlife at the heart of the city's social scene. The Komische Oper reflected this energy, staging productions that pushed boundaries and challenged conventional norms. One of Klein's most famous productions, "Tausend nackte Frauen" (A Thousand Naked Women), caused a sensation with its provocative staging and bold use of nudity. This photograph is a testament to the dynamic and groundbreaking work of James Klein and the Komische Oper during the 1920s. It offers a glimpse into a bygone era of creative expression and cultural revolution, and serves as a reminder of the enduring power of art to challenge, inspire, and entertain.
