Omer Meir Wellber concludes his time as music director at the Teatro Massio in Palermo with the New Year’s Concert. However, he will return to the house as a guest conductor in April and May to conduct a new production of Strauss’ Salome.
On January 25, 2025, a new production of the KaiserRequiem will premiere at the Vienna Volksoper, his own creation of Mozart’s Requiem and Viktor Ullmann’s The Emperor of Atlantis, with the Vienna State Ballet (choreography and direction Andreas Heise). In 2024, Omer Meir Wellber conducted a very special world premiere at the Volksoper: the new opera by composer Ella Milch-Sheriff ALMA which was a big success. In May, the KaiserRequiem will be presented in a semi-staged performance at the Philharmonie de Paris under the direction of Omer Meir Wellber with the Orchestre de Paris.
The spring will take Omer Meir Wellber first to London to the London Philharmonic Orchestra, and then to Leipzig to the Gewandhaus Orchestra. From September 2025, he will begin his first season as General Music Director and Chief Conductor of the Hamburg State Opera and Hamburg General Music Director of the Philharmonic State Orchestra.
