ABOUT ME
Morghan Welt is an emerging stage director and writer for theatre and opera. She creates ambitious, research-driven productions, and is especially interested in political plays and exploring how contemporary sociopolitical issues manifest themselves in personal stories.
Her breakthrough piece But We’re Right has been invited to several international theatre festivals, participating in this year’s Galway Theatre Festival, FUSE International Festival London and Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where she received critical acclaim. To support her cross-national theatre-making work, she received funding of the European Union and Goethe-Institute in 2024.
Her plays were also presented by the Samuel Beckett Theatre, the Scene + Heard Festival of New Work in Dublin in February 2024, as well as the La Guarimba International Film Festival Residency.
As Assistant Director, Morghan has worked for the Neuköllner Opera (dir. Ansgar Weigner), the Berliner Ensemble (dir. Kay Voges), as well as the Lyric Opera Studio Weimar (dir. Damon Nestor Ploumis) and the Saluzzo Opera Summer Festival (dir. Vivien Hewitt, dir. Cecilia Stinton).
Morghan is currently part of the Opera Directing M.Mus. programme at the Conservatory for Music Hanns Eisler Berlin. She is also a scholarship holder of the German Academic Scholarship Foundation (dt.: Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes).
In June 2023, she graduated with a First-Class Honors degree in Drama & Theatre Studies from Trinity College Dublin, where she also received a Gold Medal and scholarship for outstanding academic achievements.
She is currently based in her home town Berlin, and her adopted home town Dublin.
