Michael Hebenstreit

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Michael Hebenstreit (* around 1812, † after 1875) was an Austrian conductor and composer for incidental music .

Life

Almost nothing has come down to us about Michael Hebenstreit's life, only a few scores have survived. He was a successor to Adolf Müller senior as Kapellmeister as well as in the field of stage music and often worked with Johann Nestroy . His place of activity was the Leopoldstädter Theater , named after the demolition and rebuilding under the direction of Carl Carl since December 1847 Carltheater , where he worked until his death after 1875.

After the premiere of Höllenangst on November 17, 1849, the Austrian Courier wrote on November 20, 1849 (No. 276, p. 1104) about Hebenstreit's music rather derogatory, it was "- to put it mildly - mediocre" .

Hebenstreit was the discoverer and promoter of the opera singer Etelka Gerster (1855–1920). Since he taught them from 1874 to 1875 at the former Vienna Conservatory, the year of his death must be after 1875.
