He made his debut at the Bayreuth Festival, as Walther von Stolzing in Wagner's Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, in 1968. He also appeared regularly at the Vienna Volksoper in operetta, notably Die Fledermaus.

He also sang a few Italian roles with success such as Rodolfo, des Grieux, Ruggero, etc. In 1960, he created Gabriel in Frank Martin's Le Mystère de la Nativité. Kmentt continued to sing into his sixties, in character roles such as Triquet in Eugene Onegin, the Innkeeper in Der Rosenkavalier and Altoum in Turandot, while teaching at the Vienna Music Academy. His final Vienna State Opera performance was on 25 November 2005 as the Haushofmeister in Ariadne auf Naxos.
