As a presenter, I adhere to Billy Wilder’s first commandment of show business: “Thou shalt not bore thy audience”. Finding surprising approaches to classics and novelties from all genres is my mission and gives me great pleasure.
Whether on ORF cultural television, Radio Österreich 1 or on the open stage, what drives me is curiosity: in music, in people, in art and culture.
To indulge in the beautiful with esprit, easily but never superficially—long-standing partners such the Vienna Philharmonic, the ORF Radio Symphony Orchestra Vienna and concert organisers like Jeunesse appreciate that—as most of all, does the audience.
I look forward to putting your event in the best light!

Vienna Philharmonic New Year’s Concert 2023
Live from the Musikverein Vienna on 1.1.2023 at 11:15 a.m. on ORF 2, ZDF and 3Sat
On Jan. 1, 2023, the Vienna Philharmonic’s New Year’s Concert will take place for the third time under the direction of Franz Welser-Möst. He intends to welcome the New Year with a musical fireworks display of compositions by the Strauss family, Franz von Suppè and C.M. Ziehrer, and to present many valuable but hitherto unknown pieces to an audience of millions. Three ballet numbers were recorded in the summer for the TV broadcast, elegantly to humorously choreographed by the British Ashley Page. Michael Beyer will direct, Teresa Vogl will comment live on the concert for the first time.
Vienna Prater Picnic
A musical start to the vacations with the Vienna Symphony Orchestra
Friday, 01.07.2022 | live-time-shifted from 8:15 pm on ORF 2
What would Vienna be without the Prater? On July 1, the ORF and the Vienna Symphony Orchestra want to enrich the early summer attractions in the Prater with a new open-air concert on the famous Kaiserwiese. A delightful mix of the most beautiful melodies from the so-called “light muse” between operetta, Schlager and musical, as well as from pop and modern Viennese song should make the hearts of the Viennese and Vienna visitors beat faster and thus continue a tradition that has attracted crowds of entertainment seekers in the Prater since the middle of the 19th century until well into the 20th century. Renowned artists have announced themselves as vocal soloists: the charming young soprano Nicola Hillebrand is known above all from the world of opera and from her international concert appearances; she enchants her Viennese audience with songs and duets from well-known operettas from Emmerich Kálmán to Robert Stolz. She is accompanied by the Austrian baritone Daniel Schmutzhard, who feels equally at home in challenging opera and operetta roles as he does as a sensitive interpreter of song on the concert podium.
At the open-air concert on the Kaiserwiese, the Vienna Symphony Orchestra under conductor Dirk Kaftan will perform together with pop icon Markus WANDA for the first time!
Lisa Pac and Allegra are two young, passionate musicians representing the Viennese pop/rock scene who have close family ties to the Vienna Symphony Orchestra.
Cultural presenter Teresa Vogl will guide the audience through the program, taking them on a journey through old and new attractions of Vienna’s Wurstelprater.

In the midst of the baroque park landscape and framed by the extraordinary scenery of the festively illuminated Schönbrunn Palace and the Gloriette, the nightly Gala Concert 2022 will again take place as usual with many spectators on site. For the first time, Latvian conductor Andris Nelsons will take the podium at Schönbrunn’s open-air stage, and French cellist Gautier Capucon will also make his debut. With the program ranging from Beethoven and Rossini to Saint-Saens, Enescu, Smetana and Dvorak, the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra once again wants to emphasize Europe’s cultural ties. For the first time, the orchestra will also play a composition by Latvian contemporary Arturs Maskats, as well as a waltz by Ukrainian Mykola Lysenko, a formative composer of the 19th century. The traditional ending will again be the secret anthem of the Summer Night Concert: the waltz “Wiener Blut” by Johann Strauss. Moderation: Teresa Vogl

Klassische Verführung (Classical Seduction) with Joana Mallwitz and Franz Schubert
21.04.2022 | 07.30 pm
Großer Sendesaal
“Do you know funny music? Not me,” Franz Schubert is said to have said. Those who know and love the tender, very quiet sadness of his music know that even Schubert’s cheerfulness sheds a tear. This is also the case in one of his most popular and beautiful works, the “Great” C major Symphony.
At the latest since her acclaimed debut with Mozart’s “Cosi fan tutte” at the Salzburg Festival 2020, Joana Mallwitz has been one of the most outstanding conducting personalities of her generation. In the 100-year history of the Festival, she was the first woman to be entrusted with a new production and an entire series of performances. In the summer of 2022, she will take over the new production of Mozart’s “Magic Flute” at the same location. With the 2023/24 season, Joana Mallwitz will become artistic director and principal conductor of the Konzerthausorchester Berlin.
Teresa Vogl and Christoph Becher ask about what Robert Schumann called “heavenly lengths” in a famous review. Where does Schubert sound like Gustav Mahler and where like Joseph Haydn? Where do the trombones plunge the harmonic progression into abysses? Where does the composer bring his music to the brink of silence? In general: How many symphonies by Schubert is this again? And why did the composer never hear the work in his life? Sad enough.
Salzburg Festival 2022
“The whole city is a stage” – Max Reinhardt’s famous saying became the motto of a unique idea, the Salzburg Festival. The birth of the largest and most famous cultural festival in the world is considered to be August 22, 1920, when a late medieval mystery play was performed in front of the impressive backdrop of Salzburg Cathedral – “Everyman” as adapted by the poet Hugo von Hofmannsthal and the theater magician Max Reinhardt. Teresa Vogl once again presents the highlights of the world’s most famous classical music festival on ORF 2.

Interchanges: Ethel Merhaut in St. Corona
Monday, 10.05.2021 | 11.25 pm on ORF 2
For years, singer Ethel Merhaut has been an integral part of the young Viennese music scene. With charm and verve she dusts off chansons, foxtrots, film music and tangos of the 20s and 30s and with her interpretation builds a bridge to the present. The selection of songs is not only guided by her own identity as a Viennese with Jewish roots, but also by her interest in changing images of women.
For ORF, the charismatic singer now presents some songs from her new album “Süß & bitter” in the series “Wechselspiele – Konzerte in St. Corona” and in a special setting: Cultural journalist Teresa Vogl acts as a representative for the live audience and talks to the artist about frivolity and feminism in between.

“The Case of Parsifal”
Saturday, 17.04.2021 | 10.00 pm on ORF 2
Richard Wagner’s stage festival “Parsifal” is the second in-house production of the new State Opera Directorate under Bogdan Roščić. The ORF accompanies the elaborate new production with large-scale OB technology and initially shows Wagner’s last stage work in a two-hour compact version with a look at the work. Under the title “The Case of Parsifal”, ORF has developed an unusual broadcast format which, apart from viewing the new production, also provides intimate insights into Richard Wagner’s mythical cosmos. Selected opera scenes illustrate the scenic and musical realisation of the new production, and contributions on the historical models, the genesis and impact of Wagner’s opera, the new scenic version by Kirill Serebrennikov and much more provide a comprehensive insight into the world of Parsifal and Co.
ORF cultural journalist Teresa Vogl talks to the singing stars of the new production: Jonas Kaufmann can be heard in the role of the title character, ElĪna Garanča celebrates her debut as Kundry and Philippe Jordan conducts the Vienna State Opera Orchestra.

His home is Berlin, but I love him! This is the refrain of a famous hit song by Zarah Leander, interpreted by the young Austrian singer Ethel Merhaut. In the song, a blond Ralf from fairy tale land is sought – one can only say: Think local, in pandemic times this also applies to love.

Reden in der Eden
Teresa Vogl hosts the ORF Late Night Show
“Reden in der Eden” (“Talks in Eden”)
© photos: Julia Wesely
“Da neulich, da sitz’ ma in der Eden und reden”, Helmut Qualtinger once sang, thus finally turning the traditional Viennese nightclub into the most famous bar in the country at the end of the 1950s. The musical Late Night Show of the ORF is embraced by the dignified cocktail party ambience of the Eden Bar: the bar as a place of longing, as a living room, as the last bastion.
The pillars of the show are talk-music performances. Teresa Vogl and violinist Aleksey Igudesman welcome Hollywood film composer Hans Zimmer and Austrian actress Verena Altenberger as talk guests; Austrian shooting star Wenzel Beck performs his song “Immer wieder” live.„Immer wieder“.
Die Stageband „The stage band “The Evesdrops” will provide musical running gags and a music quiz for Hans Zimmer as well as the appropriate accompaniment to Verena Altenberger’s spontaneous belly dance.
Rather than a talk show, Reden in der Eden is a declaration of love for (bar) culture.
