Volkstheater: The Name

Wiener Traditionsensemble presents itself under new leadership for the 2023/24 season

The programming line of the Volkstheater is not changing dramatically under the new management of Kay Voges, but the artistic director emphasizes his commitment to diversity and innovation.

The Volkstheater is entering a new era under the artistic direction of Kay Voges. The 56-year-old German took over the helm of the traditional Viennese ensemble at the beginning of the season and is now presenting his first program for the 2023/24 season.

Voges' artistic credo is defined by openness and diversity. He is convinced that the Volkstheater, as a large stage in the middle of Vienna, should be a place of encounter for different cultures, generations and perspectives.

To this end, the new season offers a wide range of productions, from classics to contemporary dramas to experimental formats. Voges wants to offer something for every taste and thus appeal to a wide audience.
