Alexander Kaimbacher
Alexander Kaimbacher was born in Villach and now lives with his family in Vienna. He studied singing, acting, Waldorf education, theatre, film and media studies. Since 1998, Alexander Kaimbacher has worked as a freelance opera and concert singer and was an ensemble member of the Vienna and Bavarian State Opera. He is a professor of singing at the Anton Bruckner Private University in Linz and teaches singing at the Opera School of the Vienna State Opera.
His particular strength lies in an intensive shaping of words and music in character roles such as Loge, Candide and Celebrant. With his debut as Gustav von Aschenbach in Nadja Loschky's Bielefeld production of Britten's Death in Venice, the multi-talented artist was named best singer in the 2016 NRW-Die Welt critics' poll.
Kaimbacher is considered a specialist in Lieder singing and new music. In operetta, he celebrated great success as Eisenstein (Die Fledermaus), Leopold (Im weißen Rössl) or Boccaccio. In 2019, he made a highly acclaimed role debut as the holy drunkard Piet vom Fass in György Ligeti's Le Grand Macabre at Zürich Opera House. In the years of the pandemic, he sang the Painter in Berg's Lulu at the Enescu Festival in Bucharest in 2021, followed by premieres in Biel/Solothurn of Eiger by Fabian Müller, in Bolzano of Toteis by Manuela Kerer and in Bielefeld of Egmont by Christian Jost in 2022.
Most recently he sang Fritz in Die Großherzogin von Gerolstein at the Graz Opera, Hiob in Bernhard Lang's world premiere of the same name at Stadttheater Klagenfurt and the title role in Wagner's Parsifal at the Rudolf Oetker Halle in Bielefeld. Alexander Kaimbacher also performed the world premiere of Fabián Panisello's Judith von Shimoda at the 2023 Bregenz Festival.
In early 2024, he performed in a semi-concert version of Bernd Alois Zimmermann's Die Soldaten at the Philharmonie in Paris and Cologne as well as the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg, directed by Calixto Bieito.
