Martin Ganeider, born in the beautiful mountains of Austria (not so Sound of music as some might think), fell in love with Musical theatre when he found a Vinyl from the Austrian production of CATS.

He is a member of the Austrian musical magazine MUSICALCOCKTAIL and was part of the UND BITTE podcast with Julia Vieregge and Konstantin Zander. You can find Martin at the theatre or on the running course. Martin loves to talk about Musical Theatre and sipping coffee.

'These are desperate times, Mrs. Lovett', to quote the Demon Barber, Mr. Todd. Indeed, Covid2019 stopped the world and changed our lives in so many ways. Our beloved theatres went dark but as there are no shows we could enjoy in the theatre, we can listen to all the wonderful cast recordings and watch all the Musical related movies we always wanted but never got the time to do.

Andrew Lloyd Webbers show based on T.S. Elliotts Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats is still a record-breaker. The current Viennese production is playing in front of a full house seven times a week.

Barbara Obermeier (Jellylorum/US Grizabella) and Stefan Konrad (Chairman of Nestwärme Austria) came up with the idea about doing a charity concert as a kickstart for NESTWÄRME in Austria after they ran into each other on the street. As Mondays are OFF-Days for Musical Actors in Vienna, there might be no better day to gather together some fine voices. Spending their only day off doing a concert for a good cause is something you never can take for granted. Obermeier and Konrad brought together an A-List of Top Acts, a few of them sadly had to cancel their performance due to sickness. Instead of cutting the set-list short, others took over some songs on a very short term. Charity Events are sometimes badly rehearsed and poorly staged. It takes a lot of tact and sensitivity and the right bunch of people when you want to create a night to remember. Konrad narrated through the evening with comedy and class. A first-class Conférencier who knows how to flirt with his audience in a charming way.
Rolando Villazón, one of the world's most handsome tenors together with the Ensemble L'Apreggiata under the baton of Christina Pluhar is bringing Monteverdi's masterpiece L`Orfeo to Vienna. Claudio Monteverdi's L`Orfeo the world's very first Opera can be seen as one if not the most important work in classic history. Orpheus myth is brought to live by Monteverdi's phenomenal creation. The concert has played only one performance before back in 2016 in Germany. Vienna and his historical background are perfect for a concert like this. Rolando Villazón a Multi-talented artist is not only one of the finest voices, in 2017 he was appointed as the ambassador of the Salzburg Mozarteum Foundation and he was named as the artistic director of the Salzburg Mozart Week. L`Orfeo is based on the Greek legend of Orpheus and tells the story of his descent to Hades and his futile attempts to bring his dead bride Eurydice back to life.
