DIE FACKEL - another Schubertiade

Harald Schmidt in conversation with Joachim Meyerhoff

On television, I am the best… but in the theater, I am surrounded by people who are better. That excites me.” (Harald Schmidt)

For the fourth time, Harald Schmidt serves as host for the Salzkammergut Festival Weeks and invites to a stage talk. This time, he meets a desired guest whom he has not personally met yet: Joachim Meyerhoff. Both share a connection through their study of acting as well as the success they enjoy, no matter which of their talents they pursue. The host is an actor, cabaret artist, entertainer, moderator, columnist, and publisher; the guest is an actor, director, and bestselling author.

There are plenty of topics to discuss, and their distinctive ways of communicating—this wonderful mix of imagination, openness, shamelessness, and charm—promise a few good punchlines.
