Jazzrausch Bigband live in Frankfurt

Experience Jazzrausch Bigband live on February 2nd

Jazzrausch Bigband will perform at the Alte Oper Frankfurt on February 2, 2027. The ensemble is known for its energetic and highly rhythmic modern big band jazz, often incorporating elements of funk, hip-hop, and electronic music alongside traditional jazz instrumentation. Their compositions frequently feature complex arrangements and improvisational sections, distinguishing them from more conventional big band sounds. The group has gained recognition for their dynamic live performances and a focus on original material.

The Alte Oper Frankfurt (Old Opera) holds significant cultural importance. Originally built in 1880 and designed by Richard Lucae, it served as Frankfurt’s primary opera house until its severe damage during World War II in 1944. Rather than being fully rebuilt to its original Baroque Revival style, a conscious decision was made to preserve the ruin as a memorial and construct a modern concert hall *within* the shell of the old building. This reconstruction, completed in 1981, created a unique architectural juxtaposition. Today, the Alte Oper is a prominent venue hosting a diverse range of performances including opera, concerts, ballet, and theater, renowned for its acoustics and historical significance within the city of Frankfurt.
