Mozart Requiem in Augsburg: Premiere at martini-Park touches deeply

A requiem that touches Augsburg deeply

On July 19, 2026, the Staatstheater Augsburg will present a cross-disciplinary production of Mozart Requiem at martini-Park, combining music theater and dance in an intense live atmosphere. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Requiem meets the choreography and direction of Peter Chu – an evening of spiritual power, physical precision, and immersive audience experience.

The power of Mozart's last work

Mozart's Requiem is considered one of the great key works in music history. The composer, born in Salzburg in 1756 and died in Vienna in 1791, is regarded as one of the most significant masters of Western music; the Requiem remained unfinished and was later completed by his student Franz Xaver Süssmayr. This mixture of fragment, legend, and sonic greatness still makes the work so charged today. ([britannica.com](https://www.britannica.com/biography/Wolfgang-Amadeus-Mozart?utm_source=openai))

Peter Chu transforms grief into movement

The Augsburg production does not rely on sober reproduction but offers a new stage language. Peter Chu combines choreographic tension with the dramatically passionate sound world of the Requiem. This creates a concert experience that merges orchestration, body work, and emotional density.

Martini-Park as a dense theater backdrop

The martini-Park at Provinostraße 52 serves as an interim venue for the Staatstheater Augsburg. The hall provides the right setting for evenings that seek closeness rather than distance: a covered stage, a concentrated space, and an audience that feels the musical tension directly. The venue is accessible via tram line 6 to the Textilmuseum; a theater shuttle is also available. Parking on the premises is highly limited.

An evening for listeners seeking intensity

Mozart Requiem is aimed at visitors who want to not only hear classical music but physically experience it. Latin singing with German supertitles, Peter Chu's strong theatrical handwriting, and the unique acoustics of the martini-Park promise an evening of high concentration and great emotional depth. The Staatstheater Augsburg clearly positions the evening as a premiere within the 2025/26 season. ([augsburg-city.de](https://www.augsburg-city.de/events/56835-mozart-requiem/))
