CASTLE TALKS 2026

Inge Maux is an award-winning Austrian film and theater actress who has also played many roles in musicals. She lives with her husband in Artstetten. At 81 years old, she certainly doesn't look her age; she is constantly on the move from one filming location to the next, from one premiere to another. As if that weren't enough, she is also a painter, has her own studio, and occasionally exhibits her work. Those who know her are captivated by her sparkling charm and her funny stories, of which there are many, as we will hear in this program!

Michael Garschall has been the artistic director of the Herbsttage Blindenmarkt for 37 years, as well as a cultural manager and director. For 26 years, he led the Klosterneuburg Opera, turning it into a significant festival. Many singers who later became world-famous passed through his hands. He has been moderating the Schlossgespräche at the Kulturtage Schloss Pöggstall from the very beginning, with sensitivity and humor, asking exactly the questions that the audience would want to ask.
