Work of the Week – Wilfried Hiller: The Star Seller

By Christopher Peter
27 Apr 2026

Portrait of Wilfried Hiller: The composer with white hair and a full beard is looking to the side with a smile. He wears glasses, a light blue shirt, and a dark blue blazer. The background is bright and architecturally abstract.

A cosmic remedy for fear: On April 30, 2026, Wilfried Hiller celebrates his 85th birthday with the world premiere of The Star Seller (“Der Sternenverkäufer”) at Munich's Orff-Zentrum. Based on a story by Alexander Kostinskij, this melodrama explores the liberating power of imagination and honors a lifetime dedicated to poetic music theater.
