Experience Kian Soltani live on May 2nd

Kian Soltani, a highly regarded Iranian-German cellist, will perform at the Alte Oper Frankfurt on May 2nd, 2027. Soltani is known for his interpretations of both standard cello repertoire and lesser-known works, often praised for their emotional depth and technical precision. His playing style blends a rich, warm tone with a dynamic range that allows for nuanced phrasing and expressive storytelling. He frequently collaborates with leading orchestras and conductors internationally and is recognized for his commitment to expanding the cello’s role in contemporary music.

The Alte Oper Frankfurt (Old Opera House) holds significant cultural importance within Germany. 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 modernist style in the 1960s – retaining the original façade – it no longer functions as a primary opera venue following the construction of the new Oper Frankfurt. Today, the Alte Oper serves as a multi-purpose performance space hosting orchestral concerts, chamber music, ballet, and other events. It is renowned for its excellent acoustics and architectural significance, remaining a prominent landmark in Frankfurt's city center.
