Isabelle Faust live in Berlin

Experience Isabelle Faust live on September 19th

Isabelle Faust is a German violinist renowned for her historically informed performances and interpretations of both standard repertoire and lesser-known works. Her playing is characterized by clarity, precision, and a focus on phrasing that seeks to illuminate the composer’s intentions, often utilizing period instruments or historically appropriate setups. She frequently engages with music from the Baroque, Classical, and Romantic periods, but also performs contemporary compositions.

The Salzburger Marionettentheater – though its name references Salzburg, Austria – maintains a permanent theatre in Berlin, Germany. Founded in 1953 by Erich Maria Remarque and his wife Paulette Goddard, the theatre initially aimed to revive the tradition of string marionette performance which had largely disappeared. It quickly gained international recognition for its artistic quality and sophisticated productions.

The Berlin venue, opened in 1984, continues this legacy. Unlike some marionette theatres geared towards children, the Salzburger Marionettentheater Berlin frequently stages operatic adaptations and dramatic works for adult audiences, often collaborating with established musicians and ensembles. The intimate setting of the theatre allows for a unique connection between performers (both human and marionette) and the audience.
