And in 2021/22, he gave an overwhelming debut at the State Theatre Meiningen, continuing his close collaboration with Intendant Jens Neundorff von Enzberg (Ex-Regensburg), staging the re-discovered opera SANTA CHIARA with music by Duke Ernst II. of Coburg and Gotha, which was a huge international success after its world premiere in 1859, among others at the Opéra de Paris ,where Santa Chiara was performed more than 60 times.
In addition, he overtook in Meiningen the rehearsals for Mozart's THE MAGIC FLUTE in stage direction by Achim Freyer, whose assistant he was in the original p productions.
