Marlis Petersen live in Vienna

Experience Marlis Petersen live on March 15th

Marlis Petersen will perform at the Musikverein in Vienna, Austria on March 15, 2027. Petersen is a German soprano renowned for her interpretations of contemporary and 20th-century vocal music, alongside a significant repertoire in Baroque and classical works. Her style is characterized by a precise technique, dramatic intensity, and a clear, expressive vocal color often employed in challenging and nuanced roles. She frequently performs with leading opera houses and orchestras worldwide and is particularly celebrated for her portrayals of female characters by composers such as Berg, Messiaen, and Janáček.

The Musikverein, home to the Vienna Philharmonic, holds a prominent place in musical history. Completed in 1870, it was designed by Hans Hansen and exemplifies High Victorian architecture. The building’s primary concert hall is famed for its exceptional acoustics, largely attributed to its shoebox shape and wooden interior construction. Throughout its existence, the Musikverein has hosted performances by many of the world’s most distinguished musicians and remains a central venue for classical music performance internationally. The New Year's Concert of the Vienna Philharmonic, broadcast globally each year, takes place within its Golden Hall.
