Casts for the opera in the St. Margarethen quarry

Tosca (2015), directed by Robert Dornhelm

Entrance area to the festival area

The list of casts for the Opera in the St. Margarethen Quarry lists all the artistic contributors to the opera productions of the Opera in the St. Margarethen Quarry . The performances take place on two different stages in the Roman quarry St. Margarethen .

The necessity of double and triple casts for the main roles arises from the fact that usually three to five days are played in a row. In years in which the upper stage is used for the St. Margarethen Passion Play, for example in 2016, the opera performances take place on the lower stage of the quarry on Wednesdays to Fridays.

The works and performers of the upcoming opera in the St. Margarethen quarry will be announced here after publication.
