50 years of Austropop is certainly a reason for Straßer to embark on a very personal "Tour de Force": "‘Pinch me, I think I’m dreaming,’ my father thought when he saw my mother for the first time. A few years later, it was ‘Live Is Life’ and I saw the light of day in 1984. Back then, ‘Fürstenfeld’ was at number 1 – even in Innsbruck. Which song did you cuddle to during ski school? For me, it was ‘Ruaf mi ned au’ – unfortunately, I no longer have his phone number. And did you know that the original song of Austropop ‘Wie a Glock’n’ never made it into the Top 10?" (Katharina Straßer)

Folk actress Katharina Straßer presents a quirky, very personal tribute show. She is a true folk actress; there is no discipline in which she hasn’t already excelled: musical, cabaret, theater, chanson, film, and television. With her spectacular solo evening "Alles für’n Hugo," Katharina Straßer has sung her way into the hearts of her audience in Villach. Now, she energetically dedicates herself to the more than 50-year history of Austropop and classics like "Fürstenfeld," "Live Is Life," "Wie a Glock’n," and many others.

Join Katharina Straßer on a journey through the history of Austrian pop music from 1970 to the present day.
