Francesco Corti live in Vienna

Experience Francesco Corti live on March 10th

Francesco Corti will perform at Theater an der Wien’s Hölle venue on March 10, 2027. Corti is an Italian composer and pianist known for a style that blends contemporary classical music with elements of improvisation and a strong focus on spectralism – a compositional technique concerned with the acoustic properties of sound. His work often explores the timbral possibilities of instruments and utilizes extended techniques. He frequently collaborates across artistic disciplines, incorporating visual art and performance into his concerts.

Theater an der Wien, opened in 1807, holds a significant place in Viennese musical history. Initially constructed as the second major opera house in Vienna following the Burgtheater, it quickly became a rival to the Hofoper (now the Vienna State Opera). While primarily known for operetta during much of the 19th and 20th centuries – hosting premieres by Johann Strauss II – it underwent extensive renovations completed in 2013.

The “Hölle” (Hell) is a smaller, more intimate hall *within* Theater an der Wien, originally built as a rehearsal space but later converted into a performance venue.
