JOHANN EBERT received his training as a dancer and performer in Copenhagen and Antwerp. Engagements to date have taken him to the Musiktheater an der Wien, the Semperoper Dresden and the Wiener Festwochen, as well as to projects in the independent scene.
He has performed in operas, performances and music videos with directors such as Nikolaus Habjan, Robert Carsen, Andrea Breth and choreographers such as Esther Balfe, Lorena Randi and Nicolas Paul. As a choreography and dramaturgy assistant, he has also supervised works by Jérôme Knols and Doris Uhlich, as well as various dance and theater education projects.
This summer, we will be playing in the very center of the city, at the newly created OPERNARENA AM HEUMARKT, featuring the beautiful side façade of the Vienna Konzerthaus as the stage background, which will also be used for the impressive light projections.
For our second season, taking place from 1st to 19th July 2025, we will perform one of the most glorious Italian operas, La Traviata by Giuseppe Verdi. In our production, you can experience the reborn composer as narrator between the fantastic music, as played by the Austrian Oscar-awarded actor Karl Markovics. He will explain the insights of the touching story of Violetta, the terminally ill courtesan with the noblest of all souls. In this way, we can create a new opera experience that will delight both connoisseurs and newcomers alike, while the music sounds true to the original. And of course we will have English subtitles!
