About the artist
At home in different genres and roles
He studied acting at the Landeskonservatorium in Carinthia and singing in Switzerland with Jane Thorner Mengedoht. With the Teatro alla Scala di Milano under the musical direction of Diego Fasolis and directed by Peter Stein, he went on tour in China with Mozart's "Magic Flute" to educate Tamino and Papageno. He gave the National Opera Center of America a song and operetta evening, at Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center/NY he fought for his life as Eisenstein in Strauss' "Fledermaus" and at the Zug Operetta Summer he locked up Alfred as prison warden Frank, only to be put behind bars singing Alfred himself at the next opportunity. He also brought Joseph in "Wienerblut" to life at the Zug Operettensommer and gave voice to the godsister Aristide in "Ball im Savoy" in the operetta Sirnach.
For the Klagenfurt ensemble he threw himself against the beast of World War I in Peter Wagner's and Erling World's opera "Rattensturm" and sank into its war turmoil. At the Auditorium Stravinsky on Lake Geneva, he fought as Roland de Ronceval in the musical world premiere "Charlemagne" at his side, and at the Bad Hersfeld Festival, he sang hourly flowers with Willfried Hiller's music for "Momo" as Gigi Fremdenführer. As Quasimodo ("Hunchback of Notre Dame"), Falstaff ("The Merry Wives of Windsor"), Dorian Grab ("Portrait of Dorian Gray"), Valeria ("Leonie and Lena"), Harry Frommermann (Attention. Rare. Comedian Harmonists), Dankwart ("Nibelungen Saga") etc., he repeatedly gave his characters voice and heart.
As a director, Brummer brought the ÖUA of "Tick Tick BOOM!" by Jonathan Larson to Austria or brought "The Three Musketeers" and the folk play "Bockerer" to life. As an author, he has created works such as "Oliver Twist", "Vom Fliehen und vom Fliegen" (based on "Ein Geschäft mit Träumen" by Bachmann), "Das trunkene Schiff" (The Drunken Ship) based on Rimbaud, as well as the cinema films "Brüder" (Brothers) and "Melody" (Melody) for the production company Sehlection.
Sebastian A. M. Brummer is currently rehearsing Falstaff again, this time in "Die lustigen Weiber von Windsor" at the Theater am Fluss/Steyr and reviews radio plays such as "Bambi" by Felix Salten or "Simulation" by Matthias Clostermann.
