Salzburger Stier: gala evening in German „WIR STAATSKÜNSTLER“

The opening evening kicks off the Stier weekend and presents the audience in the hall and on the radio with a full-length cabaret programme, this time featuring three renowned ‘state artists’. The trio can be described as a kind of supergroup of Austrian cabaret: Florian Scheuba, Thomas Maurer and Robert Palfrader.

Already established soloists and good friends in private, they joined forces in 2010 to take to the stage with an original mix of hard satire, topical investigative research, playful acting and a love of high-brow nonsense.

It all began with a television show on ORF, which is no longer in production. All the more reason to experience the trio live. For the Stier Gala on 22 May 2026 in Merano, the state artists have put together their own exclusive programme and broken through Austrian borders. After all, the evening will be broadcast from the Kurhaus Merano in four countries and 10 broadcasting areas, from Vienna to Basel, from Bolzano to Berlin.
