The Professor and the Wolf

The stage in the courtyard hosts a performance at the Festspielhaus St. Pölten: The Professor and the Wolf – an evening with Peter Filzmaier and Armin Wolf! When the political scientist meets the journalist, information collides with wit. A captivating look behind the scenes of Austrian politics!

Armin Wolf is older than Peter Filzmaier – but still studied under him and discovered him for television in the lecture hall. On stage, the two sometimes talk about sports, often about how they have come to know each other better over the years, and always about what is currently happening in Austrian politics. The whole thing is fast-paced, well-informed, critical, and – thanks to the two who get along splendidly – also incredibly entertaining.

Peter Filzmaier is a professor of political science, head of the Institute for Strategy Analyses, and a political analyst for ORF. As a bestselling author and multiple award-winning commentator, he is known for his well-founded political analyses. Armin Wolf is the deputy editor-in-chief of ORF television and has been moderating ZIB 2 since 2002. Together, the two also speak in the FM4 podcast The Professor and the Wolf.
