Life

Beck, daughter of court judge Ziegler, was only 18 years old and yet she was one of the most famous talents of the tragic lovers.

“I have never seen the moment of poetry reproduced in this way. I have never heard these accents again, never the melody of love as it sounded from those lips in Fiesko's wife. "

- August Wilhelm Iffland (about her "Leonore" in Fiesco )

She had been married to the actor Heinrich Beck for barely a year when a fall in Emilia Galotti during her pregnancy led to her death.
