The Lower Austrian baritone Daniel Gutmann has been a member of the ensemble at the Staatstheater am Gärtnerplatz in Munich since 2019. He has appeared there in roles such as Dandini (La Cenerentola), Papageno (Die Zauberflöte), Il Conte (Le nozze di Figaro), Guglielmo (Così fan tutte), Javert (Les Misérables), and Albert (Werther).
Gutmann received his musical training in Herzogenburg, St. Pölten, and Vienna. He studied voice with Julia Bauer-Huppmann and classical guitar with Melitta Heinzmann at the Universität für Musik und darstellende Kunst Wien. While still a student, he performed roles such as Figaro (Le nozze di Figaro), Leporello (Don Giovanni), and Toante (Oreste) at the Schlosstheater Schönbrunn in Vienna, and appeared on studio and off-theatre stages as Demetrius (A Midsummer Night’s Dream) and the title role in Don Giovanni.
Further engagements have taken him to the Salzburg Festival (Der Prozess), Staatstheater Nürnberg (Dandini in La Cenerentola), Theater St. Gallen (Javert in Les Misérables), Wiener Konzerthaus (Mass), Kurtheater Baden near Zurich (Dr. Falke in Die Fledermaus), Theater Rigiblick in Zurich (Dromio E. in Gli Equivoci), and Stadttheater Baden bei Wien (Die Kaiserin). In the field of children’s opera, he performed Buonafede (Il mondo della luna) at the jOPERA festival in Burgenland and spent one season with the music theatre initiative Animato, which offers opera workshops for children across Austria and Germany (Don Giovanni, Die Kluge).
Daniel Gutmann is also active as a concert and art song singer. Having grown up with choral music, he began his solo career at an early age. Recitals and concert tours have taken him to New York, Singapore, Washington D.C., Texas, as well as throughout Austria and Germany. A recurring highlight is his participation in the annual classical music festival Kulturfest Traisental at Schloss Walpersdorf in Lower Austria. Since 2021, he has appeared regularly on Bayerischer Rundfunk performing operetta repertoire and Viennese songs.
In 2021, he played Don Giovanni in the Austrian comedy film Die Unschuldsvermutung, broadcast by ORF and ARD. In 2023, he was featured as a soloist in the musical documentary film Amadeus, Amadeus – Winterklang Salzburg (ORF). That same year, his debut solo album Tränenflut—a recording of Schumann songs set to texts by Heinrich Heine with pianist Maximilian Kromer—was released by Gramola.
Gutmann is a prizewinner of several national and international vocal competitions, including ZukunftsStimmen (Elīna Garanča), the Petyrek-Lang-Liedwettbewerb, and Iuventus Canti. In addition to his musical education, he holds a degree in sports science from the University of Vienna and competed in decathlon at a high-performance level with the Vienna-based athletics club DSG.
He also performs as manager, frontman, and songwriter with his country band The Groovecake Factory, with which he has won numerous awards in Austria and abroad.
