Overview

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Johann Nepomuk Eduard Ambrosius Nestroy was an opera singer, actor and, primarily, a playwright. After a career as an opera singer in several European cities from 1822 to 1831, Nestroy returned to his native Vienna and took up writing and acting. This combination of careers has caused Nestroy to be called the Austrian Shakespeare . Nestroy's career as a playwright was an immediate success: his 1833 play Lumpacivagabundus was a major hit. He soon became a leading figure in Austrian culture and society. Nestroy succeeded Ferdinand Raimund as the leading actor-dramatist on the Viennese commercial stage, often referred to as the Viennese Volkstheater.
