Silver mask
Silver Mask is an art prize that has been awarded by the Hamburger Volksbühne since March 1969 . The silver mask was created by Herbert Zeitner .
The honorary award honors special artistic achievements in stage art and expresses the close ties between its members and the Hamburg theaters. Until 1973, the Silver Mask was awarded twice after each season, namely:
- by the members of their own choice, who thereby honor the performance of an actress / singer. Once elected, the person cannot be re-elected within the next five years.
- by a jury who, at its own discretion, determines the art genre or group of people to whom the prize is to be awarded before the start of a season.
Starting with the 1973/74 season, the allocation of members or jury changes annually.
The Silver Mask has been suspended since 1992 .
