For artistic director and author Hans K\u00f6hl, the mystery of birth deserves special attention in the anniversary Advent Singing 2026:<\/p>\n

\u201cIn my ongoing effort to explore new dimensions of Advent themes, my curiosity about the diversity of the world\u2019s religions has grown, as has the awareness of the universal human search for the \u2018great secret,\u2019 which manifests itself most profoundly in the divine miracle of birth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Combined with the most beautiful musical and vocal sounds, this Salzburg Advent Singing will once again be something truly special.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In the 79th year of our existence, it was the convincingly authentic performers who deeply moved the audience, as did the heavenly voices of our soloists Elisabeth Eder-Marb\u00f6ck (Angel) and Eva-Maria Schinwald (Mary), joined this year by Johannes Forster as the new performer in the role of Joseph.<\/p>\n

Across a total of 16 performances during the first three weekends of Advent, the arduous journey of the blind shepherd Jakob\u2014brilliantly portrayed by Tyrolean actor Edwin Hochmuth\u2014through the barren and hostile Dachstein massif vividly conveyed the profound sensory perception of a blind man. With his sharpened senses, he perceives far more than his young companions, Peterl and Kathi, who tend the sheep with him high in the mountains under the strict and hard-hearted innkeeper Stoana (Marcella Wieland). This contrast between the innkeeper and the shepherd Jakob\u2014she blind within, while he is blind outwardly\u2014created a powerful and skillful connection to the present day.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The audience was also deeply moved by musical treasures such as \u201cBy Gracious Powers So Wonderfully Sheltered\u201d<\/em> and \u201cThis Is the Quietest Time of the Year\u201d<\/em>, as well as the Ladin R\u00fc Dla Gana yodel<\/em>, whose unique sound marked an absolute novelty on the festival stage. \u201cThe song \u2018By Gracious Powers\u2019 is our source of strength and touched us so deeply,\u201d wrote grateful long-time attendees after their visit.<\/p>\n

Numerous additional enthusiastic responses from the audience and exclusively positive media coverage confirm the widespread appreciation of this production: \u201cIt happens to me time and again,\u201d wrote the organizer of a travel group from Upper Palatinate, \u201cyou think it cannot get any more beautiful\u2014and yet it was even more beautiful. For me, this has been the most wonderful start to Advent for over 20 years.\u201d<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
