She sings, she dances, she plays her heart out! Whether as an actress or singer – Dagmar Manzel develops a pull that is impossible to resist. Like almost no other actress, she manages to take on every role like a chameleon, is sometimes a cheeky brat, sometimes a lady of the world and never plays a role; she is always the character she embodies on stage. Many awards bear witness to this, for example the Adolf Grimme Prize, the Actress of the Year Award from the trade magazine ‘Theater heute’, the German Television Prize, the German Actors’ Prize, the German Audio Book Prize and the German Film Prize.
For 18 years, the Berliner was one of the defining faces of the Deutsches Theater in Berlin. It was here that she discovered her singing voice and has since celebrated great success in numerous operetta and musical productions at the Komische Oper Berlin and other music theatres in the country. In addition, the great actress and captivating entertainer presents solo concerts, shoots for film and television (including as a detective in the Franconian Tatort) or reads audio books. In spring 2017, her autobiography ‘MENSCHENsKIND’ was published by Aufbau-Verlag, in which she talks to film journalist Knut Elstermann about her life as an artist.
