Jan Lisiecki live in Frankfurt

Experience Jan Lisiecki live on January 28th

Jan Lisiecki is a Polish-Canadian classical pianist renowned for his poetic interpretations and technical precision. His repertoire spans from the core Classical and Romantic periods, with particular affinity for Chopin, Mozart, and Beethoven, but also encompasses 20th and 21st-century composers. Lisiecki’s performances are often characterized by a mature musicality that belies his age, noted for both lyrical sensitivity and structural clarity.

The Alte Oper Frankfurt (Old Opera House) holds a significant place in German cultural history. Originally opened in 1880, it served as Frankfurt’s primary opera house until its severe damage during Allied bombing raids in World War II. While largely rebuilt in a post-war modernist style – controversially retaining the historic façade – it reopened in 1981 not as an opera house, but as a multi-purpose concert and congress hall.

The venue is celebrated for its exceptional acoustics and hosts a diverse program of orchestral concerts, chamber music, opera performances (though not originating productions), and other events. The building represents a complex architectural dialogue between historical preservation and modern reconstruction, making it a landmark within Frankfurt’s cityscape.
