Dee Dee Bridgewater will perform at the Opernhaus Dortmund on May 28, 2027. Bridgewater is an American jazz vocalist celebrated for her versatile style, encompassing jazz, blues, and world music influences. Her career began in the 1970s with Horace Silver’s band and has since evolved to include Broadway performances – notably originating the role of Glinda the Good Witch in *The Wiz* – and a significant solo recording output earning numerous Grammy Awards. She is known for her dynamic stage presence and ability to interpret a wide range of musical material, often incorporating socially conscious themes into her work.

The Opernhaus Dortmund opened in 1964 following damage to the previous theatre during World War II. It serves as the home venue for Oper Dortmund, encompassing opera, ballet, and concert performances. The building itself is a notable example of post-war German architecture, designed by Wilhelm Vorster. While primarily focused on operatic productions, the Opernhaus Dortmund regularly hosts concerts featuring internationally renowned artists across various genres. The auditorium seats approximately 768 patrons and is recognized for its good acoustics and relatively intimate setting compared to larger concert halls.
