Pygmalion live in Dortmund

Experience Pygmalion live on October 30th

Pygmalion is scheduled to perform at Opernhaus Dortmund on October 30, 2026. The ensemble, founded by Raphaël Pichon, is recognized for its historically informed performances of Baroque and Classical music, often focusing on French repertoire from the 17th and 18th centuries. Their interpretations are noted for clarity, rhythmic vitality, and a commitment to uncovering the dramatic intent within the scores of composers like Rameau and Charpentier. Pygmalion frequently collaborates with both established soloists and emerging talents.

Opernhaus Dortmund opened in 1964 and is a significant cultural institution within the city and the North Rhine-Westphalia region. The building itself is an example of post-war modernist architecture, though it underwent extensive renovation and modernization between 2007 and 2010. This renovation addressed both technical aspects of stagecraft and audience comfort while preserving the original architectural character. The Opernhaus Dortmund hosts a diverse program encompassing opera, ballet, concerts, and other performing arts events.
