Katharina Buchwieser , later also Cathinka or Catinka , married Lacsny von Folkusfálva , (born May 24, 1789 in Koblenz , † July 9, 1828 in Vienna ) was a German-Austrian opera singer ( soprano ) and actress.

Life

She was born as the daughter of the composer and conductor Balthasar Buchwieser and made her debut around 1803 or 1804 in Frankfurt a. M. , among other things, she gave a role in Peter von Winters The Interrupted Sacrifice Festival . She came to Vienna in 1806 and performed there many times in the court opera and at the Theater an der Wien . In 1814 Buchwieser also sang in Giacomo Meyerbeer's youth opera The Two Caliphs .

In 1808 she married Karl Joseph Graf von Hrzan. This marriage was declared null and void by the Emperor in 1820 after Hrzan's involvement in all kinds of crimes. After her marriage in 1821 with Miklós Lacsny , an estate manager of Count Ferdinand Pálffy von Erdőd (1774–1840), she no longer appeared on the stage, but still sang in concerts.

Franz Schubert , who probably knew the singer through her former colleague Johann Michael Vogl and who met Johann Nepomuk Hummel and Ferdinand Hiller at her place , dedicated both his songs to the singer based on poems by Johann Mayrhofer op. 36 ( Die angry Diana , D 707 and Nachtstück , D 672) as well as his Divertissement à l'hongroise D 818 (op.54).
