Hamburg Philharmonic State Orchestra / Selina Ott / Marie Jacquot
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
Who is this formidable woman? It is clear that the former professional tennis player Marie Jacquot has been taking the stage by storm for a few years now. Hailing from France, she has been principal guest conductor of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra since the 2023/24 season, and in the 2024/25 season she also takes on the role of chief conductor at the Royal Danish Theatre Copenhagen. Then, in the 2026/27 season, she is set to take up a new post as principal conductor of the WDR Symphony Orchestra. So we will certainly be hearing a lot more from her, as they say.
