News … Home News In memoriam Michael-Werner Hornig In memoriam Michael-Werner Hornig 20.05.2026 In memoriam The Mozarteum University bids farewell to Michael-Werner Hornig, a long-serving professor of acting and former head of the Department of Voice. 17.2.1946–8.5.2026 For many years, Michael-Werner Hornig shaped young artists with extraordinary dedication, artistic clarity and human warmth. His teaching conveyed far more than mere technique: he understood acting as an expression of personality, authenticity and musical thinking. Countless singers owe him a debt of gratitude for the decisive impetus he gave to their artistic careers and remember him as an inspiring teacher, an attentive mentor and a passionate theatre professional. With the passing of Michael Hornig, the Mozarteum University loses a defining figure and a highly regarded educator. Our thoughts are with his family and all those who accompanied him on his journey. We will always cherish his memory with gratitude and respect. Rectorate and SenateMozarteum University Salzburg
