Elise Bach in 1892

Elise Bach , married Elise von Singer (born October 4, 1852 in Vienna , † after 1902 ) was an Austrian theater actress .

Life

Bach, the daughter of a very busy theater in Vienna, showed her acting talent at the age of eight in a school exam. Then the desire to go to the theater awoke in her.

After the mother gave in to her wish, she received dramatic lessons from Emilie Door and Alexander Strakosch . She had her first appearances in smaller roles at the Karltheater. She then moved to the Theater an der Wien for a year and then returned to the Karltheater. This was followed by an engagement under the direction of Gallmeyer-Rosen at the Strampfertheater. The writer Julius Rosen wrote the "Guardian Spirit" for her, a role with which she delighted the whole of Vienna.

Engagements at the Deutsches Theater in Pest and in 1880 at the Ringtheater followed. At this time Philomene Hartl-Mitius fell ill , and the Munich theater director Max Hofpaur invited Bach to take her place in Berlin for a guest performance. Then he hired her for six years in Munich. In 1886 she left Munich and returned to Vienna, but no longer accepted a permanent engagement, but continued to guest at various theaters for a while.

Nothing is known about her life after 1902.
