The Exhibition
In 2015 the music world honours the occasion of two anniversaries of the well-known and popular Austrian tenor Heinz Zednik: he celebrates both his seventy-fifth birthday and five decades as member of the ensemble of the “Haus am Ring”, the Vienna State Opera.
On November 5, 1964 the young singer from the Graz Opera gave his first guest performance in Vienna, singing the role of Augustin Moser in Wagner’s Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg; on September 3, 1965 he appeared for the first time as a full member of the ensemble at the Vienna State Opera – as Count Lerma in Verdi’s Don Carlo. In order to showcase Zednik’s impressive repertory the exhibition focuses both on Zednik’s opera performances in Vienna and beyond – in Milan, Bayreuth and New York – and his work outside the field of opera, which comprises operetta, oratories, lieder and Viennese songs. Markus Vorzellner curated the exhibition; Elisabeth Truxa designed the layout.
