Have a sneak peek at the brand new Opera Buffa L’officina de l’amore by Giovanni Remonato and Johannes Glück!
This is most likely the funniest, queerest and most entertaining opera ever.
Opening on Oktober 1, 2025 at Kabarett Simpl in Vienna: “Märchen ohne Ende”, the new comedy revue by Jenny Frankl und Michael Niavarani. Including a lot of lyrics & music written by Johannes Glück! E.g. the opening number and a fun trio for the fabulous Bulli Sisters: Jenny Frankl, Ariana Schirasi-Fard and Katharina Dorian. Get tickets while they’re available! Will sell out soon.
Michael Niavarani’s new comedy “Venus & Jupiter” will come back at Theater im Park for the 2026 summer season. I composed and arranged the music for this hilarious show. The score is inspired by classic movie soundtracks – Ben Hur as well as Sissi – and was performed by Radio Symphonie Orchester Wien (RSO) conducted by Gottfried Rabl.
The new musical Skiverliebt opened on February 1, 2025 at Salzburger Landestheater, matching the start of the 2025 Alpine World Ski Championships in Saalbach, Austria. A funny romantic comedy in the snow! Anna Lukasser-Weitlaner and Carl Philip von Maldeghem came up with the story, I wrote the dialog. The super catchy songs were written by the Hamburg dream team Martin Lingnau (music) und Frank Ramond (lyrics). The show is directed by the one and only Andreas Gergen.
The 2024 Mörbisch Festival with Artistic Director Alfons Haider produced “My Fair Lady – Das Musical”.
I translated and adapted book and lyrics for this new production.
