The final curtain for one of Austria's most famous Actors, the legendary Otto Schenk, who sadly passed away on January 9th, has fallen on the probably most prestigious stage, Vienna's St. Stephans Cathedral, in the heart of Austrias beloved capitol. Otto Schenk has been a theatrical institution that inspired and entertained generations, a legend, on and off-stage.
His friends Maria Rauch-Kallat, Herbert Föttinger (Theater der Josefstadt Director), and Michael Ludwig (Mayor of Vienna) honored Schenk with charming anecdotes and heartwarming stories. Konstantin Schenk, Otto's son, who served as a Conférence, ended the grand ceremony with an actor's treasure, a final round of applause, of course, with the blessing of Canon Toni Faber.
Life is fleeting, but Otto Schenk's immeasurable talent brought so much laughter into the world, which will stay with us forever. He will be missed but never forgotten. The final curtain has fallen for an undoubtedly theatrical legend; Austria takes a bow and says goodbye und Baba. Thank you for everything.
