Maria Bengtsson live in Dortmund

Experience Maria Bengtsson live on April 10th

Maria Bengtsson will perform at the Opernhaus Dortmund on April 10, 2027. Bengtsson is a Swedish mezzo-soprano internationally recognized for her interpretations of Baroque and Classical repertoire, particularly noted for her work in the music of Handel and Mozart. Her vocal style is frequently described as possessing clarity, expressive phrasing, and a notable dramatic sensitivity suited to both concert and operatic performance. She often focuses on historically informed performance practice.

The Opernhaus Dortmund opened in 1964 following a design competition won by architects Wilhelm and Hannes Busso von Wedekind. It replaced an earlier opera house destroyed during World War II. The building itself is a significant example of post-war German architecture, characterized by its concrete construction and functional design, though later renovations have modernized the interior.

The Opernhaus Dortmund is home to the Oper Dortmund, offering performances encompassing opera, ballet, and concerts. It has a capacity of approximately 768 seats. The venue hosts a diverse range of productions annually and plays a central role in the cultural life of the city of Dortmund and the Ruhr area.
