Brad Mehldau live in Nîmes

Experience Brad Mehldau live on February 3rd

Brad Mehldau will perform at the Théâtre Antique de Nîmes in Nîmes, France on February 3, 2027. Mehldau is a critically acclaimed jazz pianist known for his deeply lyrical and harmonically inventive improvisations. His style blends jazz traditions with influences from classical music, particularly composers like Bach and Beethoven, as well as elements of pop and rock. He frequently incorporates interpretations of songs by artists outside the jazz realm into his performances and recordings.

The Théâtre Antique de Nîmes is a remarkably well-preserved Roman theatre dating back to the late 1st century BC. Originally constructed during the reign of Augustus, it could accommodate an estimated 17,000 spectators. It was used for performances of tragedy and comedy throughout Roman times and fell into disuse in the Middle Ages, being repurposed for various uses including housing and a quarry.

Extensive restoration work began in the 19th century, revealing its original structure. Today, it remains a functioning performance venue hosting a variety of events including opera, theatre, concerts and festivals during the warmer months; its acoustics are highly regarded.
