Experience Köster live on November 16th

On November 16, 2026, a concert featuring composer and pianist Steffen Köster is scheduled at the Opernhaus Wuppertal. Köster’s musical style is generally described as minimalist, often incorporating elements of post-rock and ambient music. His compositions frequently explore extended tonal structures and repetitive figures, creating immersive and atmospheric soundscapes. He is known for both solo piano works and pieces involving larger ensembles, often blurring the lines between classical, contemporary, and electronic music.

The Opernhaus Wuppertal has a significant history within the German operatic landscape. Originally opened in 1900 after designs by architect Wilhelm Kreis, it underwent substantial damage during World War II and was subsequently rebuilt, reopening in 1959. The building is noted for its horseshoe-shaped auditorium offering good acoustics and sightlines. It functions as a multi-disciplinary performance space hosting opera, ballet, concerts and theatrical productions. The Opernhaus is part of the Stadttheater Wuppertal which also includes Schauspielhaus (drama) & Tanztheater (dance). The venue maintains a resident orchestra, choir and ballet company contributing to its diverse programming.
