From 1960 she played numerous roles at the Vienna Burgtheater , among others in plays by Brecht, Grillparzer, Schiller, Shakespeare and Dürrenmatt. In between she also gave guest appearances in Basel, Berlin and Zurich. She was awarded the professional title of chamber actress.

In September 2011 the play You stay with me , written by Felix Mitterer for the house, was premiered at the Volkstheater in Vienna . It deals with the fact that Dorothea Neff spontaneously decided to hide her Jewish friend Lily Wolff from the Nazi thugs for the duration of the war.
