Artistic direction

New dual leadership

True to the motto “Better safe than sorry”, we have awarded the artistic direction for the 2025 summer season to a Bavarian-Hanseatic duo and have engaged the Passau event director Trixi Steiner and Managing Director Matthias Greving from Kinescope Film GmbH in Bremen. Together, the two “makers” have formed a strong team for many years in a wide variety of art and cultural projects. For example, event director Trixi Steiner not only ensures that the Semperoper Ball runs smoothly, but is also booked for numerous TV and event formats around the world. As an experienced film director and producer, Matthias Greving is an absolute connoisseur of the cultural scene as well as the international music and media world. A TOPsharing.
Cameras on, sound off, clapperboard, the first – and action!

Cameras on, sound off, shut up, the first one - and action!

In close consultation with our management, both have succeeded in arousing the interest of the classical music and television world for the new Neuschwanstein concerts and are bringing the best vocal soloists in the world to the castle stage. Cameras on, sound off, clap, the first – and action! is the motto for all five concert evenings, all of which will be recorded for television. A high-ranking accolade for our commitment, for our project. For 2025, as well as for the future.
