Nuremberg Symphony Orchestra & Nuremberg Philharmonic State Orchestra

The stylistic spectrum of the Nuremberg Symphony ranges from Bach to Hollywood. With quality, wit and charm they beguile more than 120,000 concert-goers each year with a classical feast for the ears – making them one of the largest concert orchestras in the Nuremberg Metropolitan Region.

The 91 musicians who make up the Nuremberg Philharmonic State Orchestra perform in the orchestra pit, often unseen by the audience, for operas, operetta and musical performances. Each musical season has a repertoire of approx twenty different musical works. The orchestra also performs approx eight concerts in the Meistersingerhalle and in the Opera House.

Ein prachtvoller, hufeisenförmiger und voll besetzter Theatersaal mit mehreren Rängen, roten Samtsitzen und goldverzierten Brüstungen zeigt ein großes Orchester auf der Bühne unter einem Relief klassischer Figuren, während im Hintergrund eine Projektion moderner Architektur zu sehen ist.
