Margot Bieler (born before 1950) is a German theater actress and radio play speaker .

Life

Bieler had permanent engagements as a theater actress in the 1950s and until the early 1960s at the Städtische Bühnen Essen , at the Landestheater Hannover and then at the Nationaltheater Mannheim . For the 1960/1961 season she was permanently committed to the Nationaltheater Mannheim for part of the season. She played leading roles in several highly acclaimed productions.

Bieler played a broad repertoire on stage , which included plays by William Shakespeare , the German-speaking authors of the classical period (including Johanna in Schiller's Die Jungfrau von Orleans ), but in particular also plays from the turn of the century and the modern and then contemporary theater. Bieler was initially filled in the role of the youthful heroine and the youthful lover, but soon took over the character subject.

In 1953 she played Rhodope at the Hanover State Theater alongside Ludwig Anschütz in the production of Friedrich Hebbel's play Gyges und seine Ring . In the season 1955/1956 she appeared at the Landestheater Hannover in the title role of the play The holy Johanna .

In 1958 she took on the title role of Semiramis in the German premiere of Calderon's The Daughter of Air at the Mannheim National Theater . The BBC then lifted her portrayal forth praise, but wished Bieler should represent "silent superior cold" instead of "ceaseless exaltation." About her portrayal of the title role in Hedda Gabler (1960) by Henrik Ibsen , the press wrote that in Margot Bieler the National Theater had “a Hedda Gabler of sophisticated appearance and significant acting power”. In a production by Friedrich Siems, also at the Mannheim National Theater, she embodied the title role in Heinrich von Kleist's drama Penthesilea in 1960 . In the season 1960/1961 she appeared at the Nationaltheater Mannheim in the new production of the tragedy Miss Sara Sampson (premiere: September 1960) as lover Marwood; her stage partners were Uta Sax (title role) and Wolfgang Höper . Queen Eleonore in Shakespeare's historical drama King Johann was one of her stage roles at the Mannheim National Theater .

Bieler worked as a speaker for radio, for example in 1946 as Natalja in the radio play production of Anton Chekhov's one-act play The Marriage Proposal , which was produced by Süddeutscher Rundfunk . She was also heard as a speaker on commercial fairy-tale records, such as the version of Der staunch Zinnsoldat (in the role of mother) released on the Polydor label in 1959 .

Since the early 1960s, Bieler has traveled to Mallorca several times and wrote texts about her impressions, which in 1981, spoken by Lis Verhoeven , were recorded on LP and MC under the title Verliebt in Mallorca and published by Polydor. From the early 1960s onwards, nothing is known about Bieler's further career as an actress.
