Meine liebe Kollegin Elisabeth Margraf unterstützt mich 2026 nicht nur bei unseren germeinsamen Musikproduktionen, sondern auch als Lektorin. Ich bin sehr dankbar, eine Kollegin wie sie zu haben. Wir kennen uns seit Jahren und haben als Sängerinnen immer hervorragend harmoniert. Auch dieses Jahr werde ich sie wieder unserem Publikum präsentieren - in den Hauptrollen meiner neuen Werke!" - Knabenherz - Nächste Publikation:  "Marcella", Komödie in italienischer Sprache in 3 Akten; Autor & Rechteinhaber: Astrid Mathyshek; Lektorat:  Elisabeth Margraf; Copyright : Astrid Mathyshek, Knabenherz;

Dear colleagues and friends, Hereby I officially declare to step back from my profession as a singer. The last productions which I planned in collaboration with partners did not go as I wished and left me very wounded as a professional opera singer. My priorities which I communicated openly were not taken seriously - I was left alone with preparations and my name was abused for projects which were not performed professionally in the end. Contracts were broken, my ideas and work were stolen and I was even tricked into a performance without any professional organization. If this is, what Covid-19 left us artists in the business, I gladly end my stage work here and from now on I focus on my personal life and on my work as a writer and Salonnière. The derniere concerts will contain once again Dvorak's Moravian duets and my perfomance of Rossini's Giovanna d'Arco. Jeanne la Pucelle by D. Rosetti Pic: wikimedia commons;

Today we celebrate the holy Rosary feast! It is a catholic tradition which dates back to 1571, the year in which Don Juan de Austria won the important sea battle at Lepanto against the turkish aggressors which tried to invade Europe.  His mother was Barbara Blomberg, a girl from Regensburg, called "Beautiful Barbara" by the citizens, because she was not only a beautiful girl, but she also was known for her beautiful voice. In 1546, when Barbara was only 19 years old, Emperor Karl V came to Regensburg for the Reichstag and heard her sing during a holy mass. He fell for her voice and beauty immediately and invited her to his hotel "Goldenes Kreuz". 9 months later their son Johannes was born. Aged 3 he was taken away from his mother violently by the Emperor's servants and brought to Spain, where he was raised and educated to become a military man...and since the Christians' prayers to the Mother of God led to his success to save Europe from the turkish invasion...
