The first engagements

My professional career began as a music school teacher, but a spontaneous audition led me to the opera studio of the Vienna State Opera, where I was immediately hired. There I impressed director Egon Seefehlner and Kammersängerin Gerda Scheyrer. My first engagements soon followed, including at the operetta festival in Bad Ischl, where I worked under director Prof. Eduard Macku and took my first steps on stage in the operetta "Sissy".

I received my first permanent position as a lyric tenor at the Lübeck City Theater. The Lippert family enthusiastically moved to northern Germany, where I developed from a lyric tenor into a versatile artist who mastered various roles in opera and operetta. This diversity was an exciting challenge and a great adventure.
