unanimously decided
New dual leadership found for Schauspielhaus
From the 2025/26 season, Alexander Kratzer as Artistic Director and Sophia Aurich as Artistic Co-Director will head the Salzburg Schauspielhaus. The decision was unanimous.
The duo was selected by a selection committee from a total of 22 applicants for the first hearing, where they were ranked among the four finalists and chosen at the second hearing at the beginning of August.
"The convincing combination of Alexander Kratzer as an experienced director and theater manager and Sophia Aurich as a young director with an exciting signature style ensures both the preservation of the identity of the Schauspielhaus and the desired expansion to include female contemporary perspectives," the board argues its choice.
The Schauspielhaus Salzburg had recently hit the headlines due to differences within the company. The previous artistic director Robert Pienz, who has managed the theater since 2003, was initially let go at the beginning of January. The move was apparently preceded by massive conflicts with employees and parts of the supporting association. A structural reform and the re-tendering of the directorship remained unavoidable.
