The Glenn Miller Orchestra live in Frankfurt

Experience The Glenn Miller Orchestra live on March 14th

The Glenn Miller Orchestra is scheduled to perform at the Alte Oper in Frankfurt, Germany on March 14, 2027. The orchestra continues the legacy of the original Glenn Miller Orchestra, renowned for its signature sound during the Swing Era of the 1930s and early 1940s. Their musical style is characterized by a distinctive clarinet-led reed section, melodic trombone lines, and a rhythm section emphasizing danceable tempos. Repertoire typically includes popular tunes such as “In the Mood,” “Moonlight Serenade,” and “Sing Sing Sing,” alongside arrangements reflecting the big band sound of the period.

The Alte Oper (Old Opera) Frankfurt opened in 1880 and served as Frankfurt’s primary opera house until 1968. Heavily damaged during World War II, it underwent extensive reconstruction and reopened in 1981, not as an opera house but as a multi-purpose concert venue. The building represents a significant example of Italian Renaissance Revival architecture. Today, it hosts a diverse program of orchestral concerts, chamber music performances, ballet, jazz, and other musical events.
