Hotel Matze at the Munich Volkstheater: Conversations that take time
When the podcast room becomes a stage, a special stage experience is created: On November 9, 2026, Matze Hielscher brings his live podcast Hotel Matze to the Munich Volkstheater. The anniversary edition is dedicated to ten years of Hotel Matze and invites the audience to an evening where listening becomes a shared theater atmosphere.
A decade full of encounters
Since the first episode in autumn 2016, Matze Hielscher has conducted over 500 conversations. His guests have included personalities from journalism, science, politics, philosophy, sports, art, and music. Names like Nina Chuba, Jürgen Klopp, and Angela Merkel exemplify the thematic breadth of the format.
The dramaturgy of open conversation
Hotel Matze does not follow a classic theatrical plot. Its dramaturgy arises from immediate exchange: Questions open up spaces, answers set new impulses, pauses give thoughts weight. What usually takes place in the studio becomes a public moment of concentration at the Munich Volkstheater. The conversation leadership creates a warm atmosphere at eye level and allows encounters to arise organically.
Live podcast as performance art
The staging does not rely on spectacular costumes or elaborate stage design but on presence, voice, and attention. Acoustics, lighting mood, and the proximity between stage and audience shape a concentrated stage experience. Herein lies the special art of performance of this format: It is not a role that is central but the person in conversation.
An evening for curious listeners
Which personality will be a guest at the Munich anniversary show remains a surprise. What is certain is the allure of the unpredictable: Every sentence can open a new perspective, and every question can take an unexpected turn. The audience's reaction arises from the shared experience of a conversation that does not focus on quick punchlines but on closeness and intellectual depth.
Conclusion: Hotel Matze at the Munich Volkstheater combines podcast, live interview, and immediate stage presence into a unique cultural experience. Those who want to experience Matze Hielscher live and feel the magic of a genuine conversation space will find an evening full of curiosity, warmth, and surprising encounters.
