She succeeds S\u00f6ren Schuhmacher, who had been artistic director since 2019 and head of the opera division since March 2024. He will become artistic director of the Hagen Theatre starting with the 2025\/2026 season. A director with great sensitivity, meticulous character development, and a keen visual sense, Nicola Raab has achieved international acclaim. She has created highly regarded productions at leading European opera houses, most recently Puccini's Edgar at the Op\u00e9ra Nice C\u00f4te d'Azur and Bellini's Norma at the Festival della Valle d'Itria. Nicola Raab has received prestigious awards for her work: Her production of Written on Skin for the Teatro Comunale Bolzano was awarded the Premio Franco Abbiati by the Guild of Italian Music Critics in 2016. In 2013, she received the Arets Reumert Prize for the best Danish opera production for Otello at the Royal Danish Opera in Copenhagen. \"Working with a permanent ensemble of singers, helping to shape the season, and having a place where 30 years of experience as a freelance music theater director can come together is something that excites me. I am particularly pleased to be able to work with wonderful people every day in this magnificent theater building,\" says Nicola Raab about her new role as opera director in Darmstadt. \"Nicola Raab has directed in many opera houses across Europe, from Finland to Portugal, as well as in Moscow, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Mexico City. She is a compelling director and will demonstrate this in Darmstadt and elsewhere. I find her broad international experience, her intuition, and her extensive network incredibly valuable for a diverse and exciting music theater at the Staatstheater Darmstadt and for the contemporary development of theater structures,\" says Karsten Wiegand, Artistic Director of the Staatstheater Darmstadt.
