Meyer was focused on the revival of forgotten operas, especially from the early 20th century, such as Szenen aus dem Leben der Heiligen Johanna by Walter Braunfels.
[2] His particular focus as a dramaturge was the revival of unjustly forgotten operas, primarily from the early 20th century, which helped the Oper Kiel to considerable nationwide interest.
He initiated an exemplary cycle of works by Franz Schreker, the reinterpretation of Gian Francesco Malipiero's I capricci di Callot, Franco Alfano's Cyrano de Bergerac and Die Liebe der Danae by Richard Strauss.
In the 2007/08 season, when he programmed Vittorio Gnecchi's Cassandra and the scenic premiere of Szenen aus dem Leben der Heiligen Johanna by Walter Braunfels, appreciation increased among audiences and press alike.
In Kiel in 2000, he first directed operas, a double bill of Fennimore and Gerda by Delius and Bartók's Herzog Blaubarts Burg, stage design by Anna Kirschstein.
