The new production of The Prince of Homburg premiered at Oper Frankfurt on 22 September 2024.

On 31 August 2024, Hans Werner Henze's orchestral fantasy Erlkönig was performed for the first time in South Korea.

A collaboration with the Gustav Mahler Research Centre in Toblach and the musicology department of the University of Innsbruck began in 2019: A composition workshop was set up under the direction of institute director Federico Celestini and composer Stefan Hakenberg, inspired by Henze's similar initiatives in Montepulciano, Deutschlandsberg and Munich.
