Ibrahim Maalouf live in La Ciotat

Experience Ibrahim Maalouf live on July 11th

Ibrahim Maalouf will perform at Théâtre De La Mer in La Ciotat, France on July 11, 2026. Maalouf is a French-Lebanese trumpeter and composer known for blending Arabic musical scales and improvisation with jazz influences. His compositions often incorporate elements of classical music and world music, creating a distinctive and emotionally resonant sound. He is recognized for playing the trumpet without using valves, a technique allowing for microtonal expression characteristic of Arabic maqams.

Théâtre De La Mer is an open-air venue situated directly on the Mediterranean coastline in La Ciotat. Originally constructed for the 1962 film *Manon des Sources*, directed by Marcel Pagnol, the theatre was built as a set piece replicating a village square. Following the film’s completion, it was repurposed as a performance space. The venue has since become a significant cultural landmark in the region, hosting a variety of performances including concerts, theatre productions, and dance recitals during the summer months. Its unique setting – overlooking the sea – contributes to its atmospheric appeal and popularity with both performers and audiences.
