Mensch, Maschine, Musik

Five letters stand for a whole world: 'AI era' was the word of the year in 2025. Through this choice, the Society for the German Language highlighted the significant impact of artificial intelligence on society. There is no question that artificial intelligence, with all its new opportunities and challenges, has arrived in every area of our lives. In music, too, exploring artificial intelligence opens up entirely new possibilities. With a festival where artificial intelligence meets artistic intelligence, the Alte Oper offers a glimpse into this cosmos. At the heart of it all is pianist Kit Armstrong, the Alte Oper's AI ambassador.
