Musiksommer: Gerti Drassl, Daniel Keberle & Streichquartett Sonare

"The Eternal Bachelor" (Beethoven on the 200th Anniversary of His Death)

Beethoven200; Word & Tone

As an artist, Beethoven was always surrounded by many different women, and although he had some loves, he remained unmarried throughout his life to his regret. Correspondence with the women in his daily life reveals a very personal side of the composer, and his letter to the "Immortal Beloved," which was only discovered after his death, is still one of the most extraordinary documents from Beethoven's private life. Join Gerti Drassl, Daniel Keberle, and the Sonare String Quartet on an exciting journey through music history.

Gerti Drassl
Gerti Drassl, born in Bolzano, completed her acting training at the renowned Max Reinhardt Seminar. Since then, she has been successful both on stage and in front of the camera. She has acted at the Theatre in Josefstadt and is seen at the Volkstheater in Vienna. She also performs at various stages. In April 2023, "Die Redaktion" premiered at the Volkstheater Wien directed by Calle Fuhr, with whom Gerti Drassl previously collaborated in "Heldenplätze." She has had numerous successes in film, television, and radio productions. In 2024, she starred in three film productions and a TV movie, including "Welcome Home Baby," which opened the Panorama section at the Berlinale 2025.

With great success, three seasons of "Vorstadtweiber," featuring Gerti Drassl in the role of Maria, who goes through a rollercoaster of emotions, ran in Austria and Germany. Gerti Drassl has received numerous nominations and awards: the Nestroy Prize in the Best Young Actress category, the Undine Award for Best Actress, and the Romy Award as Shooting Star 2006, as well as in 2013 the German Actor's Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role, and the Austrian Film Award for Best Supporting Actress.

In 2024, she was nominated for "Wald" and "Persona non grata" and for "Gina" at the Austrian Film Awards 2025.

Daniel Keberle
Among the countless theater engagements of Daniel Keberle, one of his earliest stands out as a personal highlight: "Valentin" in Goethe's "Faust" in the 19-hour performance by Peter Stein for the Expo Hannover 2000. In 2002, he was Laertes in Shakespeare's "Hamlet," directed by Anselm Weber at the Schauspiel Frankfurt. In 2005, he participated in "Der Familientisch," a sensational "theater walk" through Vienna, co-produced by the Schauspielhaus Wien and Wiener Festwochen, directed by David Maayan, founder of the Akko-Theater in Tel Aviv.

From 2005 to 2007, he was engaged at the Salzburg Landestheater, where he portrayed Titus Feuerfuchs in "Talisman" by Johann Nestroy, directed by Beverly Blankenship. At the Clingenburg Festspiele in 2006, he was "Hamlet," and he has shaped numerous additional roles under directors such as Werner Sobotka, André Pohl, Rüdiger Hentzschel, Bettina Hering, and many others.
