Experience Magdeburgische Philharmonie live on December 21st

Magdeburgische Philharmonie will perform at Theater Magdeburg on December 21, 2026. The orchestra maintains a repertoire spanning from Baroque to contemporary compositions, with a particular focus on German and Central European classical music. They frequently incorporate works by composers with connections to the Saxony-Anhalt region, alongside established orchestral standards. The ensemble is known for its versatility, performing both symphonic concerts and opera accompaniment.

Theater Magdeburg boasts a rich history dating back to its initial opening in 1915, though the current building complex represents reconstructions following damage during World War II and subsequent renovations. Originally designed by architect Edmund Körner, it’s a significant example of early 20th-century architectural style incorporating elements of Neo-Baroque and Art Nouveau. The theater houses three distinct performance spaces: the Großer Saal (Main Hall) primarily used for opera and ballet, the Mittelsaal (Middle Hall) utilized for plays and concerts, and the Kleiner Saal (Small Hall) which hosts chamber music and smaller theatrical productions. Throughout its existence, Theater Magdeburg has served as an important cultural institution for the city of Magdeburg and the surrounding region, hosting national and international performing arts companies.
