Mondo Chôro live in Duisburg

Experience Mondo Chôro live on November 21st

Mondo Chôro will perform at Theater Duisburg on November 21, 2026. The ensemble specializes in *choro*, a vibrant and complex instrumental Brazilian music genre originating in Rio de Janeiro in the 19th century. Characterized by virtuosity, improvisation, and a blend of European harmonic structures with African rhythms, choro is often described as Brazilian jazz. Mondo Chôro is recognized for its dedication to both traditional choro repertoire and innovative compositions within the genre, frequently incorporating elements of other musical styles.

Theater Duisburg possesses a significant history within the German theatrical landscape. Originally established in 1902 as the Stadttheater Duisburg, it underwent substantial reconstruction following severe damage during World War II, reopening in 1950. In 1964, a fire led to further architectural changes and ultimately the construction of a new building designed by architect Paul Baumgarten, opening in 1978. This modern structure is notable for its modular design allowing for flexible stage configurations and diverse performance possibilities. The theater operates as a municipal theatre offering productions spanning drama, opera, ballet, and concert performances.
