Daniil Trifonov live in Sarasota

Experience Daniil Trifonov live on December 1st

Daniil Trifonov will perform at the Sarasota Opera House on December 1, 2026. Trifonov is a Russian pianist internationally recognized for his commanding technique, poetic sensitivity, and profound interpretations. His repertoire spans a wide range, from Romantic composers like Rachmaninoff and Chopin to more contemporary figures such as Prokofiev and Ligeti. He is known for both his faithful adherence to scores and his willingness to explore deeply personal expressive approaches within them. Trifonov has received numerous awards including a Grammy Award and the International Tchaikovsky Competition Gold Medal.

The Sarasota Opera House, originally constructed in 1926 as the A.B. Edwards Theatre, underwent significant renovations in the late 1980s transforming it into a dedicated opera facility. It’s known for its intimate size – seating approximately 1,100 patrons – which contributes to a particularly strong acoustic experience. The venue is historically significant as the home of the Sarasota Opera, founded in 1961 by Ivan Gaál, which focuses on presenting fully staged opera productions with an emphasis on lesser-known works alongside standard repertoire.
