The Austrian-born Stampler-Brown served as Managing Director of the Deutsche Oper am Rhein (DOR) from summer 2014 to spring 2025, sharing the role of co-CEO. Since the departure of General Director Christoph Meyer, she has been the sole Managing Director. "The Deutsche Oper am Rhein is a unique institution with wonderful people," said Stampler-Brown.

"She has guided the theater through exceptionally demanding challenges on a solid financial foundation and advanced important developments on various levels," said Keller.
