Life
Carl Pichler sang as a choirboy in church. At first he became a businessman, but was not satisfied with this profession and therefore took singing lessons from Kapellmeister Ott in Graz . In 1842 he began his career as a singer in Pressburg , where he initially only received small roles or often only sang in the choir. In Graz, his next station, he was given more demanding tasks. In 1844 he received an engagement at the Salzburg City Theater ; his inaugural role there was the "hunter" in the night camp . From 1845 to 1847 he worked at the Augsburg Theater and in the summer of 1846 and 1847 in Innsbruck and Aachen, 1847 to 1848 in Elberfeld, 1848 to 1849 in Luxembourg, 1850 to 1851 in Stettin, 1851 to 1852 at the Court Theater in Dessau, summer 1852 on Krollschen Theater in Berlin and from 1852 to 1855 in Würzburg. From there he went to the Stadttheater in Frankfurt, where he was to stay for 23 years. In 1878 he retired and moved to Munich.
Pichler was married to the singer Auguste Wiegand . Two of her children dedicated themselves to the stage: Mathilde Pichler was a popular singer at the Munich and Dresden court operas, but withdrew from the stage in 1878. Max Pichler also became a singer.
