Carl Dalmonico
Carl Dalmonico ( April 9, 1850 in Vienna - February 1923 in Munich ) was an Austrian actor , theater director , author and translator .
Life
Influenced by the performances of the Burgtheater, he decided early on to take up the stage profession. He was trained by Emilie Door and Alexander Strakosch and stepped onto the stage in Halle for the first time in 1869. He stayed there for three years, then came to the National Theater in Berlin, in 1872 in Cologne , in 1873 in Weimar , in 1878 in Frankfurt am Main and in 1880 in Darmstadt , where he worked continuously until 1895.
He then joined the Association of the State Theater in Prague and in 1897 followed a call to the City Theater in Cologne.
Until 1895 the artist was first active as a youthful hero and lover, later in the field of hero fathers and included " Wallenstein ", "Götz", " Zriny ", "Stauffacher", "Miller", "Alba", "Talbot" etc.) to his best performances. He was considered a clever, thinking actor who never appeared on stage unfinished. From 1884 he also worked as a director, and took over the function of senior director in Prague and Cologne. He proved to be a worthy student of the Meiningen as well as successfully turning his attention to intimate staging, and countless times he put brilliant samples of his directorial skills in large ensemble scenes, mass productions (such as the presentation of the Shakespeare cycle) and in the intimate conversation piece.
Dalmonico had also made himself noticeable through translations and adaptations and was active as a writer. Among other things, a localization of Schleich's folk play The Last Witch , an installation of Calderon's drama The Miraculous Magnus, etc. should be highlighted.
In 1902 he worked in Bonn, and from 1905 at the latest to at least 1911 in Leipzig. From 1914 to 1921 the artist, who last lived in Munich, appeared in several silent films.
