Igor Levit live in Frankfurt

Experience Igor Levit live on April 24th

Igor Levit will perform at the Alte Oper Frankfurt on April 24, 2027. Levit is a German pianist renowned for his intellectually probing and emotionally resonant interpretations of classical repertoire. His playing is characterized by a meticulous attention to structure, a deeply considered approach to phrasing, and a willingness to engage with the philosophical undercurrents of the music he performs. He frequently champions composers like Beethoven, Bach, and Schubert, but also actively programs contemporary works, often with a socially conscious dimension.

The Alte Oper Frankfurt (Old Opera House) holds significant cultural importance. Originally opened in 1880, it was heavily damaged during World War II and remained in ruins for decades, becoming a symbol of Frankfurt’s destruction. Reconstruction began in the late 1970s and was completed in 1981, reopening as a multi-purpose performance space. Unlike many European opera houses built primarily for opera and ballet, the Alte Oper was conceived from the beginning as a venue for all performing arts – opera, concerts, ballet, theatre and more – reflecting the civic ideals of its founders. It’s known for its excellent acoustics and historically informed restorations which blend original architectural features with modern functionality.
