Dr. Helmut Reichenbächer is an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences at OCAD University where he teaches courses on cultural history, popular culture, and theatre.
Current research into theatre programming with music during the Weimar Republic and the Third Reich applies methodologies from the digital humanities, musicology, theatre studies and archival research to investigate the patterns of censorship in cultural programming of the period. This research is funded by a 2023-2025 Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council’s Insight Development Grant.
His research has been published in the Journal of the American Musicological Society, University of Toronto Quarterly, Opera Quarterly, Essays in Theatre, and in The Oxford Companion to Music.
Dr. Reichenbächer is also a Senior Fellow at Massey College in the University of Toronto and an avid fan of live performances ranging from theatre to opera and dance.
