Davor Herga attended primary school and natural science secondary school in Maribor, then studied acting and artistic expression at the Ljubljana Academy of Theatre, Radio, Film and Television with professors Zvone Šedlbauer, Albert Kos and Janez Hočevar. He completed his studies by playing the role of Lopahin in the graduation production of Chekhov’s The Cherry Orchard directed by Matjaž Pograjc. After graduating, he was employed for one season in the Slovene National Theatre Drama Maribor and for two seasons the Celje City Theatre. He then returned to the Slovene National Theatre Drama Maribor, where he has remained ever since.
Although the audience knows him above all as a dramatic actor, he has been flirting with music privately since childhood, but mainly as a listener. His position at the Slovene National Theatre Maribor allows him to be in close contact with musicians. In addition to opera performances and concert cycles at the Slovene National Theatre Maribor, he regularly attends the concerts of the Concert Management of Narodni dom Maribor. For him, listening to music at home is relaxation and a retreat into a world where there is no need for words.
