StageManagement

Just in case you missed my interview for the online magazine MOTHERGRID.DE: we had a chat about stagemanagement, career paths to become a stagemanager in Germany and our volunteer work in the Inspizienten-Netzwerk.de

Had a great time working on the final revival of The Meistersinger von Nürnberg directed by Barry Kosky at the 2021 Bayreuther Festspiele. Despite of the strict covid rules for the festival it was a pleasure to hear the thunderous applause at the end of each performance.

4 days of BROADWAY STAGE MANAGEMENT SYMPOSIUM 2021, of course this time its completely online. A conference, expo and networking event by stage managers for stage managers from all around the world. More than 300 stage managers will attend this year. Its a rare chance to reach out and connect to colleagues from different countries. Have a look at www.broadwaysymposium.com

Things are looking up as Gershwin once said. Lets hope this will be the final lockdown of theatres and concert halls and we will soon be able to return back to work. We are all thirsty and hungry for some live entertainment

And once more there are no concerts or shows at our theatre in Munich. Another lockdown because of high covid rates. We try to go on rehearsing but its getting more difficult day by day. We all are missing doing our work in front of an audience

The season at the Prinzregententheater in Munich is officially finished by now. We had hectic and problematic times since march 2020 when the cultural lockdown started. Luckily we got the chance to do some shows and concerts for a selected audience in July. Lets hope things are looking up when we return in September. The Show must go on!!!

After weeks of lockdown we have started rehearsing again. We had a great time doing three performances of PARADIES FLUTEN on stage of the Prinzregententheater even if only 36 audience members were allowed. Well we were sold out for each show 😉

Because of the Corona lockdown in march 2019 our production of Brittens A MIDSUMMER NIGHTSDREAM had to be cancelled. We made it to the first dress rehearsal but the beginning shutdown in germany made any rehearsing impossible, so we had to stop immediately during two orchestra rehearsals. Who knows maybe we will open this production someday

The munich production of Greendays AMERICAN IDIOT transferred to the Tiroler Landestheater in Innsbruck in december 2019 and was a tremendous audience pleaser. Of course I was there to support the Innsbruck team to put the show on after a short run in Munich

In 2019 the Bayreuth Wagner Festival invited me to join them as the stagemanager for the opening production of TANNHÄUSER. I had a really great summer season working at the famous Festspielhaus surrounded by lots of crazy Wagnerians

Another Opening, Another Show: first steps in my new job at the amazing Prinzregententheater in Munich. It was not easy leaving my work at the NTM in Mannheim behind, but sometimes you must open a new window as they say. And I am sure I wont be bored stagemanaging a wild variety of shows, concerts and readings in Munich
