Michael Arlt live in Munich

Experience Michael Arlt live on July 23rd

Michael Arlt will perform at the Cuvilliés Theatre in Munich on July 23, 2026. Arlt is a German composer and pianist known for his distinctive blend of neoclassical, ambient, and electronic music. His compositions often feature intricate piano work combined with atmospheric soundscapes and subtle electronic textures, drawing comparisons to artists like Nils Frahm and Ólafur Arnalds. He frequently incorporates improvisation into his performances.

The Cuvilliés Theatre holds significant historical and architectural importance in Munich. Originally built as a court theatre between 1751 and 1753 under the direction of architect François Cuvilliés the Elder – hence its name – it is considered one of Germany’s most important Rococo theatres. Severely damaged during World War II, it underwent a meticulous reconstruction completed in 1958, restoring it to its original splendor.

The theatre is renowned for its opulent interior decoration, characterized by elaborate stucco work, gilded ornamentation, and frescoes. While originally designed for opera and ballet, the Cuvilliés Theatre now primarily hosts concerts, particularly those showcasing classical and contemporary music suited to its intimate setting and exceptional acoustics.
