The Austrian actor Philipp Hochmair will take on the title role in Hugo von Hofmannsthal’s “Everyman” in Salzburg next summer. This has not yet been officially confirmed by the Salzburg Festival, but his name came through, as did that of the Canadian opera director Robert Carsen, who is due to take on the new production, which is scheduled to take place at short notice in 2024. Only a week ago it was announced that the current “Everyman” version by Michael Sturminger would be canceled, along with the entire team, including the main actor Michael Maertens. His successor Philipp Hochmair, who recently turned 50, has a long history with “Everyman”. We reach him on the phone while filming the series “Blindly Detected”.
