The Berliner Operngruppe eV (bog) was founded in 2010 by the conductor Felix Krieger with the support of the patron Nicolaus von Oppenheim in order to present operas in Berlin that are outside the usual opera repertoire and have either never been heard here or have not been heard for many decades . After the first performances in Radialsystem V, die bog has been performing in the Konzerthaus Berlin with its own project choir and orchestra since 2013. The highly acclaimed semi-staged productions include the Berlin premieres of Verdi's Stiffelio , Puccini's Edgar , Mascagni's Iris and the German premieres of Donizetti's Betly and its one-act opera Deux Hommes et une femmein September 2021. The anniversary production of bog, a live recording of the Iris performance , was released by Oehms Classics in March 2021 and has been nominated several times for the Opus Klassik 2021 and for the German Record Critics' Best List 3/21.

bog has been cooperating with the historic Ricordi Archive in Milan since 2017 and is supported by Bertelsmann.

The Berliner Operngruppe eV is a non-profit association. She hires the best professional musicians from Berlin’s free music scene in her orchestra and offers them a place where they can play rarely performed operas at the highest level with internationally sought-after soloists. In its choir, the BOG unites selected excellent amateur singers with professional choir singers in rehearsals. The format of the performances in the Konzerthaus Berlin is semi-staged: the equipment is provided by well-known directors (including Lorenzo Fioroni, Isabel Ostermann and Thilo Reinhardt), so the stage is lively and stirring performances with little equipment, in which the focus is on the music.
