  Herbert Ploberger was an Austrian painter of the New Objectivity, costume designer, stage designer and scenic designer. He received his theoretical training after the end of World War I at the Vienna School of Applied Arts and in Paris. From 1927 he worked under the chief stage designer of the Deutsche Theater, Ernst Stern. Under Stern's guidance, he worked as a scenery painter and stage designer at the Reinhardt stages. As a painter, Ploberger created portraits and still lifes, among other things, in the New Objectivity style. Luis Trenker brought him into film as a costume designer in 1933. During the war years he was repeatedly involved in lavish historical films in this capacity. After the end of the war, he designed the sets for two Austrian films before returning to work as a costume designer for West German productions from 1950. He also worked for the stage, for example for the Theater in der Josefstadt and the Salzburg Festival. Ploberger was married to the film architect Isabella Ploberger in the forties. The comic opera "Die vier Grobiane" ("I quatro rusteghi" - original libretto by Luigi Sugana and Giuseppe Pizzolato) was premiered in the German language edition at the Bavarian State Opera in Munich on March 19, 1906 (German libretto by Hermann Teibler), conducted by Felix Mottl. The composer Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari is considered a representative of anti-modernism and classicism in music. The play "I rusteghi" by Carlo Goldoni served as a model for the opera. In place of the commedia dell'arte with its harlequinades and buffoonery, indecencies and fantastic inventions, he advocated the comedy of character and manners modeled on Molière.
