Background

The Munich State Theatre Orchestra (Orchester des Staatstheaters am Gärtnerplatz) carries a rich legacy as the musical heartbeat of one of Germany’s most historic performance houses. Established in 1865 under the patronage of King Ludwig II, the Gärtnerplatztheater was founded to bring high-quality music and drama to the citizens of Munich, eventually evolving into a premier stage for opera, operetta, and musical theatre. The orchestra is celebrated for its stylistic versatility, having been shaped by legendary guest conductors such as Carl Millöcker and Franz Lehár, and it remains a vital pillar of the Bavarian cultural landscape.

Joining the ensemble for this performance is Mone Hattori, a violinist of extraordinary technical command and emotional depth. A winner of the prestigious International Boris Goldstein Violin Competition at just 13 years old, Hattori has since ascended to the global stage, earning acclaim for her fiery interpretations and lyrical maturity. This collaboration at Yokohama Minatomirai Hall represents a powerful fusion of German orchestral tradition and Japanese virtuosity, bringing a program that highlights both the refined textures of the Munich sound and Hattori’s breathtaking solo mastery.
