Christine Buchegger in memoriam

Austria-born Buchegger played in most of Bergman's stagings at Munich's Residenztheater, often in leading roles including the title character of Hedda Gabler, Irina in Three Sisters or Johanne in PO Enquist's From the Life of the Rain Worms.

Her most recognised achievement to an international audience is her magnificent interpretation of Katarina in From the Life of the Marionettes.

Christina Buchegger died in a Munich hospital at the age of 71.
