Philharmonisches Orchester Gießen live in Kiel

Experience Philharmonisches Orchester Gießen live on October 4th

Philharmonisches Orchester Gießen, founded in 1946, is a German orchestra with a repertoire spanning from Baroque to contemporary compositions, frequently focusing on Central European composers and showcasing both established works and lesser-known pieces. The orchestra is known for its commitment to regional musical life within Hesse and increasingly undertakes projects beyond its home base.

The performance on October 4th, 2026 will take place at the Opernhaus Kiel. Opened in 1905, the Opernhaus Kiel boasts a rich history as a significant cultural institution in Schleswig-Holstein. Originally constructed as a municipal theatre offering opera, operetta, plays and concerts, it underwent extensive renovations between 2009 and 2012 which modernized its technical facilities while preserving its historical architectural features – notably its neo-baroque style. The venue is recognized for its excellent acoustics and intimate atmosphere despite being a mid-sized opera house seating approximately 1,186 patrons. It operates as a three-branch theatre alongside the Schauspielhaus Kiel and the Theater am Holstenmarkt, offering diverse performing arts programming. The Opernhaus Kiel maintains a permanent ensemble of singers, musicians and dancers.
