Staatstheater Mainz, Concert Season 2025/26 – A New Chapter

A new start. A new rhythm. A new design.

With the arrival of chief conductor @gabriel_venzago, the Staatstheater Mainz opens a new chapter.

Our visual concept for the season’s concerts translates musical change into a clear, contemporary design language applied consistently across brochures, posters, postcards, and programs. Precise typographic structures and bold, rhythmic compositions echo the energy and tension of symphonic music. Repeating patterns, arranged with orchestral precision, create a sense of movement that feels almost audible. Vibrant color fields add depth and dynamism, making musical intensity visually tangible. The design balances continuity and renewal within a unified visual system.

The visual system for Concert Season 2025/26 communicates a moment of tran-sition across all formats, from large-scale posters to printed programs. The season marks a change in chief conductors, combining farewell and renewal. Music is translated into typographic compositions: rhythmic
