Antonie Janisch (born May 9, 1848 in Vienna ; † October 12, 1920 ibid) was an actress at the Vienna kk Hof-Burgtheater .

Live and act

She received her acting lessons from the couple Zerline and Ludwig Gabillon and aroused Laube's interest, who made her perform as Melitta ( Sappho ) in the Hof-Burgtheater in 1867 . The success was not a very happy one, and Laube let the artist move to Berlin , where she was engaged at the Wallner Theater .

In 1869 she won director Chéri Maurice for his Hamburg Thalia Theater , at which she soon achieved so much that she invited Franz von Dingelstedt to a guest performance in Vienna in 1872 and immediately engaged him for the Hof-Burgtheater.

A year later she married Count Ludwig Arco-Valley and consequently renounced art, but returned to the Hof-Burgtheater in 1875 after a guest performance in Saint Petersburg , where she remained engaged until 1882. After performing on stage in Germany, England and America, she returned to the Hof-Burgtheater in 1892 and retired in 1893. She had her main strength as a naive-sentimental lover ( Das Käthchen von Heilbronn etc.).

The artist spent the last years of her life in seclusion in Vienna- Hütteldorf , in whose cemetery she was buried on October 16, 1920.
