Laura Hörold hands over management of the NKO
After 12 years on the board of directors of the NKO, Laura Hörold handed over the management to Marta Hewelt on July 1.
The theater studies graduate joined the Neukölln Opera in 2011 after working as a freelance production manager. In addition to her actual work, she enriched the NKO’s productions through her diverse contacts in the independent scene. Through her work in the management team, the Neuköllner Oper has not only maintained its reputation as a popular venue for artists and audiences alike, but has also joined forward-looking networks such as the Federal Cultural Foundation’s Zero Climate Neutral Art and Culture Projects project. We wish her all the best for her future career!

The Neuköllner Oper mourns the loss of Luca Schaub, who died far too young on August 2 after a short, serious illness at the age of just 36.
After graduating from Graz University of the Arts, the actor was involved in numerous productions as a member of the Berliner Ensemble from 2013 to 2017, including productions by Leander Haußmann, Robert Wilson and Claus Peymann.
He then worked as a freelance actor.
In 2022, Luca was engaged at the NKO for the first time: With his unmistakable imagination, creativity and humor, he embodied the GDR star Dean Reed in IRON CURTAIN MAN. Most recently, he played the role of “Gustl” in LISAS LAND DES LÄCHELNS at our theater at the beginning of the year.
Luca touched us on and off stage, inspired us and made us laugh.
We are shocked and stunned by the loss of our esteemed colleague and our thoughts are with his wife, family and friends.
In gratitude and mourning,
the entire team of the Neuköllner Oper
