Vice Chancellor and Minister of Culture Andreas Babler expresses great concern about the death of Elisabeth Orth: “With Elisabeth Orth, Austria loses not only one of the most outstanding actresses of our time, but also a committed democrat who has worked with great clarity and consequence for justice, culture of remembrance and social cohesion.
As a doyenne of the Burgtheater, the sponsor of numerous awards and central figure of the Austrian theater landscape, she set standards with unmistakable presence, linguistic precision and deep humanistic spirit. Their roles were always more than art – they were attitude.
Elisabeth Orth was not only a voice of the theater, but also a voice of conscience in our country. Her loss hurts – your legacy remains. “
