Life
Bucksath, the son of a painter, wanted to become a painter himself after graduating from high school. In addition, he conducted artistic studies with Arthur Fitger . After three years he swapped the visual arts for the performing arts and went to Bremen to take singing lessons from Sigmund Garso . However, as he soon lacked the necessary funds, he decided to become a businessman. He embarked for the East Indies and worked for seven years in Sumatra as an administrator on tobacco plantations. In 1893 he returned to Europe and settled in Munich, where he took singing lessons from the singing teacher Karl Erler and then perfected his studies with Franz Fischer and Heinrich Porges . His dramatic teacher was opera director Robert Müller . After successfully auditioning, he made his debut at the Schwerin court theater.
From Schwerin he moved to the court theater in Mannheim (1902–1905), after which he worked in Magdeburg from 1905–1906.
He then lived as a guest in Magdeburg and from around 1913 in Wiesbaden. From there he worked until at least 1921.
Bucksath was considered a great interpreter of Wagner.
