Tilmann Köhler (born 1979) is a German theatre stage director who has worked with the ensembles of the Deutsches Nationaltheater Weimar and the Staatsschauspiel Dresden.
In 2013 Köhler directed opera for the first time, Handel's Teseo at the Oper Frankfurt, invited by Bernd Loebe who had seen his work.
[4][5] Köhler was invited to direct the opening of the 2023/24 season, Mozart's Le nozze di Figaro in the first performance with the new music director Thomas Guggeis.
A reviewer from the FAZ noted that Köhler staged playful "serious games" ("ernste Spiele"), in which the women win by "wit, cleverness and presence of mind".
[6] Der Traumgörge was finally presented in 2024, conducted by Markus Poschner,[7][4] with AJ Glueckert in the title role, Zuzana Marková as Gertraud, Magdalena Hinterdobler as Grete and Liviu Holender as Hans.
