Nina Brutti

We Are All But Players on The Stage of Life


A Blood Sucking Role! Yesterday, I had the pleasure of talking to Nina Brutti, a charming young lady who has one foot set firmly in a fantasy world of her own, and the other in the realities of life as it is; and both of these sides are as real and as true as each other!

On the one side, she’s a very realistic and down-to-earth student whose eyes are well and truly fixed on a future as a teacher, and, on the other side, her life consists of singing, dancing and acting; and, both sides together contain the depths and the shades that make her the exciting person that she is!

Nina admits that her real love is the stage, and this is clear when one sees her in action. Just very recently, she was very instrumental in the putting on of a highly successful revue in Vienna, Musical Meets Breitensee; and it was there, to the sheer delight of two packed houses, that she allowed her talents to rise to the surface as she cut her way through roles which had been taken from Dracula, Hercules, Pocahontas, The Rudolf Affair, the King of the Lions, Tutankhamen, Gustav Klimt and We Will Rock You! Musicals that are as diverse as they are beautiful – and the role that she enjoyed the most was that of the blood-sucking Dracula!

But, maybe, it is Nina’s love of creativity and the theatre that lead her to her choice of becoming a primary school teacher! There are, after all, striking similarities! Both require an incredible confidence; and both demand a high level of creativity in depth. Nina is at home in both – and both of these professions are amongst the most important that there are.

Teaching establishes intellectual interests and sets people upon their way through life; and the theatre exists because of this base. So, without the right teachers, our society would be a lot worse off! And some of tomorrows children will have Nina to thank for their success; and, a lot of us now can be grateful to her for the fun that she’s giving us!
