Omer Meir Wellber at State Opera Hamburg, Teatro Massimo and Volksoper Vienna in May & June 2024

On short notice, Omer Meir Wellber, designated music director of the Hamburg State Opera and Orchestra from September 2025 onwards, will jump in for two performances on June 16 and on June 20 of a revival production of Mozart’s Così fan tutte at the Hamburg State Opera, leading from the Hammerklavier as he often does in this repertoire. Hamburg audiences have seen him on several occasions in the past years, for example, as artist-in-residence of the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival 2022 as well as guest-conducting at the Elbphilharmonie.

Today, May 29 and on May 31, the final two performances of Richard Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde in the hugely successful new production by Daniele Menghini, take place under Wellber’s direction at Teatro Massimo in Palermo. The famous Swedish soprano Nina Stemme is looking at singing her last “Isolde” in tonight’s performance!

At the end of June before heading to Israel to work with his orchestra Raanana Symphonette in early July, Omer Meir Wellber will end the season in Vienna conducting Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte on June 22 and June 28 as well as a symphonic concert on June 27 and June 29 at the Volksoper with guest soloist Jan Vogler playing the rarely performed cello concerto by Friedrich Gulda.
