Life

Alice Hétsey received her artistic training from Konrad Loewe and Karl Arnau in her hometown of Vienna. She made her stage debut on January 30, 1898 at the Raimund Theater . The artist , who had been married to the writer Rudolf Holzer since 1901, remained connected to this central Viennese stage until the early years of the 20th century, where she played the subject of the salon lady, the heroine, but also the character subject. In 1904 Alice Hetsey-Holzer moved to the German People's Theater in the capital, to which she was to remain loyal for a quarter of a century. Here the Viennese celebrated successes as a character actress in both classical and conversational pieces. After 1929 she was no longer tied to a stage and remained active in her last active years as a freelance artist.

Alice Hétsey's most important theater roles include Hero, Anna (in Shakespeare's Richard III. ), Pompadour (in Brachvogel's Narcissus ), Magda (in Sudermann's homeland ), Kätchen (in Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew ), Adriane (in Shakespeare's Die Komödie der Errungen ), Claire (in Ohnets Der Hüttenbesitzer ), Agnes Sorel, Rottin (in Schönherr's Faith and Home ) and Frau Alving (in Ibsen's Ghosts ).
