Jury statement

“The Städtische Bühnen Osnabrück impresses with the way it succeeds in creating a qualitatively remarkable and stringent program in all genres. Sustainable support for authors is just as central here as an ambitious music theater that is open to rarely performed and contemporary operas. With large-scale research projects and a straightforward festival concept inherited from the previous management team, the theater networks intensively in the public sphere. The consistent cultivation of ensemble work ensures that the theater is firmly anchored across the city.” – Jury statement
