Life
Cornelius Obonya is the son of Elisabeth Orth . He lost his father Hanns Obonya , who was also a castle actor, at the age of nine. His maternal grandparents are the castle actors Attila Hörbiger and Paula Wessely .
At the age of 17 he went to the Max Reinhardt Seminar to study acting, but left after a year and began training with the cabaret artist Gerhard Bronner .
Between 1989 and 1992 Obonya was engaged at the Vienna Volkstheater under the direction of Emmy Werner . His first significant role was Eugene in Neil Simon's Brighton Beach Memoirs , for which he received the 1989 Karl Skraup Prize for Young Talent . In 1989 he was awarded the OE Hasse Prize .
Between 1992 and 1999 he played at the Schaubühne am Lehniner Platz in Berlin under the direction of Andrea Breth , in whose productions he is often involved to this day. He also works with Klaus Michael Grüber , Luc Bondy and Robert Wilson . He played in Klaus Michael Grüber's world premiere Splendid's by Jean Genet and Bleiche Mutter, tender sister of Jorge Semprún at the Weimar Art Festival . In the radio play series Cocktail for Two by Michael Koser , produced by Deutschlandradio Berlin in 1999 , he spoke the main character Felix .
Since 2000 he has appeared regularly in the Vienna Burgtheater , initially exclusively in Andrea Breth productions: Edward Bond's “Die See” (as Hollarcut), Lessing's Emilia Galotti (Pirro), Schiller's Don Carlos (Domingo), Chekhov's Der Kirschgarten (private tutor Trofimow ), Tennessee Williams' The Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (Gooper) and Lessing's Minna von Barnhelm (Paul Werner). He had a solo evening in the vestibule (Burgtheater) with the title Ecklokal mit Loser and appeared as a frog in the bat at the Vienna State Opera . As Schubi he played a police assistant in SOKO Danube .
In Andrea Breth's production of Schnitzler's Das weite Land , he made his debut as Paul Kreindl at the Salzburg Festival in 2002 . It was there that he was seen in 2012 as Monsieur Jourdain in the original version of Ariadne auf Naxos by Hugo von Hofmannsthal and Richard Strauss . From June 2008 he played the leading role in the German-language premiere of the Broadway hit musical The Producers . The venues were the Ronacher establishment in Vienna and the Admiralspalast in Berlin. In 2010 and (after resumption) in 2011, Cornelius Obonya was on stage in Cordoba - The Second Leg at the Vienna Rabenhof Theater , a critically acclaimed one-man show in which he embodied several roles in different dialects.
Every year from 2013 to 2016 he played the role of Jedermann at the Salzburg Festival , which his grandfather Attila Hörbiger had played. This new production was directed by the British Julian Crouch and the American Brian Mertes .
Obonya is married to the Osnabrück- born director Carolin Pienkos and has had a son since November 2005, who - probably after Obonya's grandfather Attila Hörbiger - bears the name Attila Ruben.
