50 YEARS OF STUDYING MUSIC THEATER DIRECTING IN HAMBURG

The content on this page was translated automatically.

Fifty years ago, August Everding and Götz Friedrich founded the music theater directing course in Hamburg, creating a Hamburg model of training between academia and artistic practice, which soon proved its success with successful alumni in almost all German opera houses. With the death of Götz Friedrich in 2000, an era came to an end. From then on, it was no longer the one formative master director who determined the course with his attitude and signature, but a multitude of changing prominent guest professorships. With the establishment of the Theater Academy in 2001, director training was gradually developed into an interdisciplinary joint task, both through the networking of all theater-related courses at the HfMT and through cooperation with the state theaters and other art colleges with their costume and stage design classes. The future of the course will be the subject of lively discussion when alumni from many years return to Hamburg to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the course. 50 years of music theater directing in Hamburg - lectures by former university president Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. mult.
