Each year, the traditional Festive Opera Gala combines real musical delight and the joy of charity. The gala, which is organised for the benefit of the German AIDS Foundation, has for years been one of the social highlights on the German agenda. In the years 2005 and 2006 conductor Lawrence Foster was the responsible leader of the choir and the orchestra of the German Opera Berlin.
