Having seen his first operas in Hamburg in 1972, "The Magic Flute", and then "Die Soldaten", he has said that from the first moment he loved opera. It was at Henze's invitation that Glanert produced his first sizeable piece of music-theatre, the opera "Leyla und Medjun" which opened the first Munich Biennale, set up by Henze in 1988. Glanert then became involved in Henze's other festival, the Cantiere Internazionale d'Arte in Montepulciano, firstly as assistant co-ordinator and head of the music school from 1989 to 1993, and later returning as artistic director for the years 2009 to 2011.
