Anna Christine Henke
Anna Christine Henke , née Anna Christine Schick ( 1753 in Hildburghausen - 1827 in Dresden ) was a German theater actress .
Life
Henke made his debut in 1768 and was a member of the Kochschen stage in Berlin for a long time . In 1788 she was obliged to move to Hamburg, where she made her debut as "Franziska" and was an excellent artist with Ackermann and Schröder . It stayed there until 1796 and, in its heyday, was indisputably one of the first German soubrettes .
“You will find few actresses,” says a report from that time, “who have such a wealth of teasing pantomime, if need be, express naivety, who have such volatility of the tongue and limbs, whose smallest expression and gesture with so real Soubrettenlaune is stamped, which the finer class of maids know how to work just as happily as those of ordinary grist and grain ”.
In 1796 she called Pasquale Bondini to Prague, where she initially caused a sensation in soubrette roles, but in 1799 moved to the field of comical old people. In the same year she received an application to the Dresden court theater , where she worked in an outstanding artistic position until 1819. Then she retired.
As before in her first soubrette roles, she became a master of her craft in the field of comical mothers and old coquettes. In the naturalness of the presentation and play, she is said to have had no rival.
The artist died in Dresden in 1827. She was married to Gottlieb Christian Henke .
