DIRECTION

His directing work is inspiring, enchanting – and polarising: Stefan Herheim is considered one of the foremost directors of modern times. In 2024, he received the Austrian Musical Theatre Award for the premiere (Das schlaue Füchslein) that began his directorship of the MusikTheater an der Wien. Since 2018 he has been Professor of Direction at the Operahøgskolen Oslo where he passes his knowledge and experience on to students. In a master class, he now works with singing students from our partner universities as well, allowing them to watch over his shoulder as he works.
