Samuel Hasselhorn live in Nuremberg

Experience Samuel Hasselhorn live on December 5th

Samuel Hasselhorn will perform at the Staatstheater Nürnberg on December 5th, 2026. Hasselhorn is a German composer and pianist known for his neo-romantic style, often incorporating elements of minimalism and post-rock. His compositions frequently feature evocative melodies, rich harmonic textures, and a focus on atmosphere, drawing comparisons to artists like Max Richter and Ludovico Einaudi while maintaining a distinct voice. He often works across classical, film, and contemporary genres.

The Staatstheater Nürnberg holds a significant place in German cultural history. Established in 1909, it’s a multi-disciplinary theatre encompassing opera, ballet, drama, and concerts. The building itself replaced an earlier theatre destroyed by fire and was designed by architects Carl Kraas and Oskar Wörner in a Neo-Baroque style. Following extensive damage during World War II, it underwent reconstruction and reopened in 1963.

The theatre is renowned for its high artistic standards and diverse programming. It operates as a municipal theatre owned by the city of Nuremberg, serving as an important cultural hub for the region. Its main hall provides acoustics suitable for both operatic performances and orchestral concerts like the one featuring Samuel Hasselhorn.
