A summer evening full of sound magic at Odeonsplatz
With the additional tickets for the Symphony Orchestra of the Bavarian Broadcasting, one of the most sought-after classical open-airs in Munich is getting even closer. On July 11, 2026, great orchestral art meets one of the most impressive backdrops in the city at Odeonsplatz – with Sir Simon Rattle conducting and Kirill Gerstein at the piano.
George Gershwin in the open air
The program focuses entirely on American sound colors: Gershwin's Overture to Let 'Em Eat Cake, the Piano Concerto in F major, Porgy and Bess: Symphonic Picture and An American in Paris promise a colorful mix of swing, symphony, and urban energy. This orchestration is precisely what makes the evening enchanting: precise sound, vibrant colors, and a conducting style that effortlessly carries the music across the square.
A concert venue with magnetic appeal
Odeonsplatz is one of the most famous music addresses in Munich. The open-air concert is designed for approximately 14,000 visitors and has been a crowd-puller for years. The transparent arched stage creates a special ambiance, while the historic architecture lends the concert experience an almost cinematic tension. Those sitting here experience not just a concert, but a dense live atmosphere that blends urban history and the present.
A world-class orchestra
The Symphony Orchestra of the Bavarian Broadcasting is among the leading orchestras in Europe. Founded in 1949, the orchestra is internationally visible through numerous recordings, prestigious awards, and a strong presence via BR-KLASSIK and its own media library. For Classics at Odeonsplatz, the ensemble brings that blend of precision, brilliance, and grand gestures that transforms an open-air event into a true peak experience.
Strong partners, strong stage
The event is supported by the Bavarian Broadcasting and the state capital Munich. This makes the concert not only a hallmark of artistic quality but also signifies a reliable, professionally curated festival structure. For the audience, this means short paths to information, an established advance ticket sales system, and a high-quality supporting program with a clear focus on the live experience.
Conclusion
This concert combines great classical music, prominent solo performances, and one of the most beautiful open-air stages in Europe. Anyone wanting to hear Gershwin in this setting should secure the additional tickets quickly and experience the summer highlight at Odeonsplatz live.
