About the Concert

Almost a Hamlet my Mephisto an Oedipus for everyone
 
An evening with Klaus Maria Brandauer
Klaus Maria Brandauer is one of the most important and formative actors in the German language. He has been a member of Vienna's Burgtheater for several decades and has also long acted in Düsseldorf, Munich, Hamburg, Berlin and London. His extraordinary film career began with the joint work on the Oscar-winning production MEPHISTO with Istvan Szabo, which found a congenial continuation with OBERST REDL and HANUSSEN. Despite all his international successes, Klaus Maria Brandauer has always remained true to the stage, even today. He convinces(ed) his audience in countless performances as an actor who can harmonize words, thoughts and feelings in a very special way. In his own words, the prerequisites for this are simple: craft, art, cheerfulness.
On the occasion of his sixtieth stage anniversary, he is now taking his audience on a great literary journey and meeting many of the stage characters from his long theater career again - and some for the first time! The program will include great theater texts by Sophocles, Goethe, Ibsen, Shakespeare, Schiller, Hofmannsthal, Brecht and several others. Concisely and personally presented by Klaus Maria Brandauer, who will once again prove: In the end, the author is always right!
