Marlis Petersen live in London

Experience Marlis Petersen live on November 25th

Marlis Petersen will perform a solo recital at Wigmore Hall, London, on November 25, 2026. Petersen is a German soprano internationally recognized for her interpretations of 20th and 21st-century vocal music, alongside a strong foundation in the standard repertoire. Her performances are frequently praised for their dramatic intensity, technical precision, and nuanced understanding of text. She is particularly noted for roles in contemporary opera by composers such as Kaija Saariaho and Olga Neuwirth, but also excels in works by composers like Berg and Strauss.

Wigmore Hall holds a distinguished position within London’s musical landscape. Opened in 1901, it was originally designed as a private concert hall for the Bechstein piano company, aiming to showcase their instruments. It quickly became renowned for its exceptional acoustics and intimate atmosphere – seating approximately 544 people – fostering a close connection between performers and audience. Unlike larger venues, Wigmore Hall maintains a specific focus on chamber music, song recitals and solo instrumental performances.
