Mauern is moving to Hamburg: Tobias scratch brings a breath of fresh air to the opera!

Tobias scratch, the star director from the small village of Mauern near Moosburg an der Isar, is on his way to the biggest stage of the opera house in Hamburg! The talented director, known for his exciting productions, has just received the call to become artistic director of the Hamburg State Opera. His career has taken him from his tranquil homeland to the famous backdrops of Bayreuth, where his inspiring “Tannhäuser” production caused a sensation.

Scratcher emphasizes that he does not approach Hamburg as a local, but rather looks at it “ethnologically”. He firmly believes that he works best when he looks at the works he stages with unbiased eyes. At the presentation of his new “Rheingold” at the Bavarian State Opera, he gives an amusing tip: “Go to the toilet first!” This epic performance spans two and a half hours. But don't worry, time flies for Schieber, and he wants to inspire audiences with his productions for both newcomers and experienced people.

Religion instead of capitalism

Despite the traditions in the opera,krater has his own point of view. Instead of just focusing on criticism of capitalism, he focuses on criticism of religion, as inspired by Ludwig Feuerbach. In his new “Ring of the Nibelung” he plans to depict gods tormented by boredom. Where is the meaning of life when you have endless time?

Scratcher is not only a director, but also a new thinker in musical theater. He believes that opera should be accessible to all ages and speaks out against the view that the art form is only for seniors. With a tongue-in-cheek reference to Winston Churchill, he asks: “Then what are we still fighting for?” His take on this art form could revolutionize the way we view opera today and bring it back to the center of cultural life!
