Dietger Holm is Deputy General Music Director and 1st Kapellmeister at the Theater und Orchester Heidelberg.
He was acting GMD here in the 2014/15 and 2023/24 seasons. He was previously engaged as Kapellmeister at the Mecklenburg State Theatre in Schwerin.
Guest conducting engagements have taken him to the opera houses in Bern, Bielefeld, Flensburg, Halle, Lübeck, Prague and Winterthur, as well as to the ORF Radio-Symphonieorchester Wien, the Mecklenburgische Staatskapelle, the Hamburger Symphoniker and the Musikkollegium Winterthur. He has accepted future guest conducting engagements with the Philharmonisches Orchester Bremerhaven, the Südwestdeutsche Philharmonie Konstanz and again with the Musikkollegium Winterthur.
His wide-ranging music theatre repertoire now includes more than 70 stage works from the early classical period to the immediate present. In addition to the core repertoire - from Mozart to Beethoven, Wagner, Verdi, Puccini and Strauss to central works of the 20th century - contemporary music theatre is a focal point of his work. He has premiered numerous works, most recently three operas as part of the European music theatre project »Archiv der Stimmen« and last season Ludger Vollmer's interdisciplinary stage work »Zusammenstoß«.
Dietger Holm studied conducting with Klauspeter Seibel at the University of Music and Theatre in Hamburg. He was born in Kiel and grew up on the North Sea island of Sylt.
