Mondo Chôro live in Duisburg

Experience Mondo Chôro live on March 20th

Mondo Chôro will perform at Theater Duisburg on March 20, 2027. 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 typically features instruments like the *cavaco* (a small four-string guitar), flute, clarinet, mandolin, and seven-string guitar. Mondo Chôro is recognized for its dedication to both traditional choro repertoire and innovative contemporary compositions within the style.

Theater Duisburg boasts 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. In 1994, a major architectural renovation by Rob Krier transformed the building into its current striking form – a deconstructivist design featuring a dramatically sloping roof and exposed concrete elements. The theater functions as a multi-disciplinary venue hosting opera, ballet, drama, concerts and other performances.
