After having undergone an extensive renovation, the Linden Opera reopened on 28 April 1928 with a new production of Mozart's "Die Zauberflöte". The cast included Delia Reinhardt, Richard Tauber, Friedrich Schorr and Leo Schützendorf, conducted by Erich Kleiber. The same year, the famous Russian bass Feodor Chaliapin and Serge Diaghilev's "Ballets Russes" with conductor Ernest Ansermet were guest performers. In 1930 Erich Kleiber conducted the premiere of Darius Milhaud's "Christophe Colomb". However, in 1934, when symphonic pieces from Alban Berg's "Lulu" were performed by Kleiber, the National Socialists provoked a scandal and the conductor was forced into exile.
