Due to the secondary school there are many musical and theatrical performances done with the pupils. Beginning with small plays, prepared for example in class for parent evenings, these continue with performances rehearsed in the theater group and culminate in the musical performances, which have become very poplar in the last few years. On average, 100 to 150 pupils participate in the performance of a musical. There are also joint projects with the abbey choir, one of the most notable being the performance of “Carmina Burana”.
The music projects began in 1984 with “Jesus Christ Superstar”. This was followed by “Hair”, “Godspell”, “Touch Me”, “Don Quichote”, “Benni”, “Joseph”, “Carmina Burana”, “Godspell”, and Joseph Haydn’s “The Creation”.
In addition to our house projects there is a series of performances by outside promoters. These can be highly cultural events, for example the International Baroque Days at Pentecost. Particular highlights in 2000 and 2001 were the advent concerts produced by ORF (Austrian Television) with the Arnold Schönberg Choir and the Concentus Musicus under the direction of Nikolaus Harnoncourt.
