Isabelle Faust live in Berlin

Experience Isabelle Faust live on September 20th

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 distinctive, often introspective tone, frequently employing period instruments to achieve authenticity in sound. She is celebrated for her thoughtful programming and scholarly approach to music.

The Salzburger Marionettentheater – though its name references Salzburg – maintains a permanent theatre in Berlin, Germany, where this concert will take place. Founded in 1957 by Erich Frey, the theatre builds upon a long tradition of marionette performance dating back to the 18th century in Salzburg itself. The original Salzburger Marionettentheater was established in 1770.

The Berlin venue distinguishes itself by presenting not only traditional marionette operas for children but also staging full-scale operatic productions using marionettes for adult audiences. It’s known for its high artistic standards and intricate puppet craftsmanship. The combination of live classical music with marionette theatre represents a unique performance format frequently explored by the theatre; this concert with Isabelle Faust continues that tradition, offering an unusual setting for chamber music performance.
