Life
Almost nothing has been handed down about Hebenstreit's life, only a few scores have survived. He was a successor to Adolf Müller senior as Kapellmeister as well as in the field of stage music and often worked together with Johann Nestroy. His place of activity was the Leopoldstädter Theater, which, after being demolished and rebuilt under director Carl Carl, was renamed the Carltheater in December 1847, where he worked until his death in 1875. After the premiere of Höllenangst on 17 November 1849, the Österreichische Courier of 20 November 1849 (No 276) wrote rather derogatory about Hebenstreit's music, it would be "mildly marked - mediocre". Hebenstreit was the discoverer and promoter of the opera singer Etelka Gerster (1855–1920). Since he taught her from 1874 to 1875 at the former Vienna Conservatory, his year of death must be after 1875.
