Marie Jacquot live in Berlin

Experience Marie Jacquot live on December 8th

Marie Jacquot will perform at the Staatsoper Unter Den Linden in Berlin on December 8, 2026. Jacquot is a French composer and pianist whose work frequently blends contemporary classical music with elements of jazz, improvisation, and electronic soundscapes. Her compositions often explore themes of memory, perception, and the interplay between acoustic and synthesized textures, showcasing a distinctive harmonic language and rhythmic complexity. She is known for both solo piano pieces and works incorporating chamber ensembles and live electronics.

The Staatsoper Unter Den Linden holds a significant place in German cultural history. Originally built in 1743 as the Königliches Opernhaus under Frederick the Great, it’s one of Europe’s oldest opera houses. Throughout its history, it has premiered works by composers such as Meyerbeer and Wagner, and has been closely associated with prominent conductors including Wilhelm Furtwängler. Heavily damaged during World War II, the opera house underwent extensive reconstruction, reopening in 1955 after a period of division during the Cold War – initially operating as two separate opera houses (East and West Berlin).
