Opus (English: Work) is the eighth studio album of the music project Schiller created by the German electronic musician Christopher Von Deylen. The album was announced on July 1, 2013 (2013-07-01) and will be released on August 30, 2013 (2013-08-30). On this album Schiller has collaborated with Russian operatic soprano Anna Netrebko, French pianist Hélène Grimaud and German classical oboist Albrecht Mayer.

The album Opus combines electronic music with classical music such as Swan Lake. It's also inspired by and based on songs such as Gymnopédie no. 1 by Erik Saties, Edvard Grieg's Solveig's Song, Rachmaninoff's Rhapsody On A Theme Of Paganini op. 43 and Debussy's Reverie. After Schiller already released some singles with classical influences such as "Ein schöner Tag" (2000) with German singer Isgaard and "Time for Dreams" (2008) with Chinese pianist Lang Lang, it's the first completely classical inspired album of Schiller. Originally it was planned as a purely istrumental album, but then it was supplemented with vocals during the development.

It will be released in different editions, including the limited "Ultra Deluxe Edition" of 2.500 exemplares handsigned by Christopher von Deylen.[1] Opus is the first release of the new label "Panorama" by Deutsche Grammophon. Schiller presented this album for the first time to journalists and traders at four exclusive listening sessions in Berlin, Hamburg, Munich and Cologne. With the album Opus Schiller introduced for the first time since the debut album Zeitgeist a new logotype and a completely new corporate identity. It's also the first album without a name in German language. The art work includes pictures by photographer Philip Glaser.[2][3]
