Life


Born in Karlsruhe, Kusterer attended from 1913 until 1916 the Badisches Konservatorium there. He worked from 1917 until 1919 as a pianist and répétiteur at the Badisches Staatstheater Karlsruhe. Until 1936, he lived as a freelance composer in his home town and had success on "many German stages" with stage works in the Spieloper genre, such as Was ihr wollt and Diener zweier Herren.[1] On 16 August 1945, at the reopening of the Friedenau Theatre in Rheinstraße in Berlin, Kusterer conducted Rossini's The Barber of Seville.[2] From 1950 until 1958 he was musical director at the Komische Oper Berlin.

Kusterer died in Altensteig.
