About

Voice training already played an important role when the Mozarteum was founded in 1841, and this is no different today. The expectations placed on today's singers, however, have changed considerably: in addition to excellent vocal and musical qualities, performing skills are also a must for successful singers. The study programme prepares students for the many realities of life as a singer.

In addition, the vocal pedagogy courses offer a practice-oriented, artistic, pedagogical and academic education. The interdisciplinary and diverse nature of these courses represents a contemporary preparation for a range of future professional fields in a changing professional world.

    Wolfgang Amadé Mozart: Don Giovanni 

    Mozart's opera Don Giovanni deals with the mythologically charged subject of the womaniser and libertine Don Juan. The focus is on an unscrupulous nobleman who lives excessively, seduces women and even murders – until he is finally brought to account by a higher power. The story is deeply rooted in moral issues and raises questions of guilt, abuse of power and punishment.

    Vincenzo Bellini: I Capuleti e i Montecchi 

    The performance of Vincenzo Bellini's opera I Capuleti e i Montecchi delivered a powerful reinterpretation of the masterpiece. Directed by Alexander von Pfeil, the production centred on the relentless feud between two rival clans and the profound despair of its victims. This staging transcended specific eras, placing the story in a universal, timeless setting that brought Bellini's dark vision of love and war to the stage with harrowing clarity.

    Wolfgang Amadé Mozart: Le nozze di Figaro 

    As a play, La Folle journée by the scandalous author Pierre Auguste Caron de Beaumarchais was banned in Vienna. However, Mozart and Da Ponte were able to suggest to Emperor Joseph II that the genre of opera would defuse the revolutionarily objectionable text and were thus commissioned to compose and write the libretto. The question of whether they did not in fact intensify the play in other ways is one that is posed anew in every production. With Le nozze di Figaro, Gernot Sahler and Alexander von Pfeil's opera class continued their Da Ponte cycle, which began with Così fan tutte in May 2023.

    Giuseppe Verdi: Falstaff 

    Sir John Falstaff is a natural phenomenon: his appearance is imposing, his demeanour commanding, his manner possessive. And most fascinating of all: the event does not care about rules, conventions or decorum, it simply exists for its own sake, in a sense for nothing but its belly.

    Elegy for young lovers 

    "What qualities must a person possess in order to dominate both dramaturgically and vocally in an opera?" and "What must a man of mature age look like who is in close relationships with a crazy old lady, a young girl and a doctor at the same time?"
