Life

Amélie Wülfinghoff was a daughter of the Wiesbaden piano teacher Wilhelm Wülfinghoff (1822–1908). At the age of ten she performed in a concert in Schlangenbad , where she played works by Chopin and Ludwig van Beethoven . Apparently, father and daughter performed together more often in Amélie Wülfinghoff's early years, not always to the delight of the audience. From Chemnitz, for example, it was reported: “A Mr. Wülfinghoff organized a soirée musicale with the participation of his daughter. Since the named gentleman has the maxim to carry out the colportage of tickets in person, the purpose of "making money" was achieved. Otherwise, however, the soirée had no purpose, and so there was increasing unrest among the badly fallen audience. "

At the inauguration of the Great House of Augsburg City Theater in November 1877, she sang the role of Leonore in Fidelio . At that time she had an engagement at the Royal Theater in Hanover .

On May 1, 1878, Amélie Wülfinghoff was accepted as a soprano in the ensemble of the Munich Court Opera . In later years she lived as a singing teacher in Baden-Baden ; In 1904 she was already based there. In the 1903/04 teaching year she was hired as a new teacher at the Mannheim University of Music .
