After the Advent Singing is before the Advent Singing

Although Easter is just around the corner, the Salzburg Advent Singing is already in the midst of preparations for the new production in Advent 2025.

Every year, some of the children in the Salzburg Shepherd’s Children grow into adolescence and are sent off (with tears of farewell) into “shepherd retirement”. The “replacement” is recruited at the annual “shepherd children casting”. The number of applications is high every year, because who wouldn’t want to play on the world-famous stage of the Großes Festspielhaus? After a pre-selection process, 16 children were invited to the casting and put through their paces to determine their suitability. In the end, 8 children from Oberndorf, Abersee, Ostermiething, Fuschl, Seekirchen, Forstau and St. Koloman met the criteria to be accepted into the close-knit community of the Salzburg Shepherd Children. We would like to thank all applicants for their excellent preparation and look forward to welcoming the “newcomers” to our team!

Several roles became vacant for the new production of “The Blind Shepherd” (book: Hans Köhl, music: Shane Woodborne). Edwin Hochmuth will take on the role of the “Blind Shepherd”, theroles of Maria (Eva Maria Schinwald) and the Angel (Elisabeth Eder) will remain the same, and Marcella Wieland (2023 in the role of Anna) will take on the role of the Innkeeper.
