Classical at Odeonsplatz: The Munich Philharmonic transforms Munich into a summer stage full of excitement
When the Munich Philharmonic performs on July 12, 2026, at Classical at Odeonsplatz, great symphonic music meets one of the most impressive open-air backdrops in Europe. A concert experience is created at Odeonsplatz that plays with atmosphere, sound depth, and urban elegance. The program ranges from Richard Wagner's overture to The Flying Dutchman through Max Bruch's Violin Concerto No. 1 to Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy's Scottish Symphony.

Great sound in the open air
The Munich Philharmonic brings their symphonic art to where the city itself becomes a resonance chamber: at Odeonsplatz. The orchestra, which has been one of Munich's cultural ambassadors since its founding in 1893, uses exactly this tension between historical backdrop and precise stage performance for an evening that sounds like concentrated live atmosphere. Since 2021, the Isarphilharmonie has been the new home of the ensemble, but summer nights at Odeonsplatz are firmly part of the orchestra's DNA.

Lahav Shani, María Dueñas, and a program with profile
Conducting is Lahav Shani, who will officially take over as the principal conductor of the Munich Philharmonic in September 2026 and already excited audiences at Classical at Odeonsplatz before. Soloist María Dueñas makes her debut with Max Bruch's Violin Concerto No. 1, a key work in the violin literature that oscillates between lyrical intimacy and powerful virtuosity. The evening promises precise synchronization, large melodic arcs, and that degree of emotion that makes an open-air concert unforgettable.
