| Professor Ralf Weikert was born in St. Florian (Austria) and received his first musical training at the Bruckner-Konservatorium in Linz. He completed his studies at the Musikhochschule in Vienna under Prof. Hans Swarowsky. In 1965 Weikert won First Prize at the Nicolai-Malko-Competition in Copenhagen. One year later he was granted the Mozart-Interpretation-Prize by the Austrian Minister of Culture. In 1975 the Dr.-Karl-Böhm-Award was presented him from the great conductor himself. Until 1977 Ralf Weikert was Principal Conductor and Music Director of the City Theatre in Bonn. After an appointment as executive Generalmusikdirektor at the Frankfurt Opera, in 1981 he came to Salzburg as Principal Conductor of the Mozarteum-Orchestra and Director of the Landestheater. In 1974 Weikert made his debut at the Vienna State Opera and in 1975 at the Hamburg State Opera. His appearance at the Deutsche Oper Berlin in 1979 were followed by performances at the Bavarian State Opera Munich (1981) and the Metropolitan Opera House in New York (1987).

In 1994/95 he was highly praised for his performances in Amsterdam ('Die Fledermaus'), Athens ('Fidelio'), in Zurich ('Katja Kabanova') and in Berlin ('Freischütz') in 1996.
