Elsa von Schabelsky
Elsa of Schabelsky (Elizaveta Aleksandrovna Shabelskaya-Bork) ( Russian Елизавета Александровна Шабельская-Борк * 18 April 1855 in Stupky in Ukraine ; † 15. August 1917 in Government Novgorod of Russia ) was a Russian - German writer and actress .
Live and act
Schabelsky attended a women's high school in Kharkiv and then studied singing at the Paris Conservatory . After losing her singing voice, she took acting lessons from Jean Battiste Bressart . She played on various stages in France and Russia and later attended the conservatory in Vienna to learn the German language. She then worked as an actress in Basel , Graz , Vienna, Bad Ems until 1882 and came to the Residenztheater in Berlin . Here she met the married writer and theater manager Paul Lindau , with whom she had a relationship that led to the end of his heyday in Berlin. She broke the connection in 1890, whereupon Lindau tried to prevent her from practicing at all theaters in Berlin. The socialist Franz Mehring published private letters from Lindau, revealing how he turned his social power against the defenseless actress. Lindau tried to counteract the scandal and finally left Berlin for several years. Schabelsky worked as a dramatic writer from 1891. As can be seen from the Hamburg passenger lists, she visited Morocco in 1895 and described her experiences in the travel sketches from Morocco. Then she leased the "Nemetti Theater" in Saint Petersburg until bankruptcy in 1902 .
She wrote three novels: Satanists of the XX. Century ( Сатанисты XX века (Satanisty XX veka), 1911), red and black ( Красные и чёрные (i Krasnye chyornye), from 1911 to 1913), Veksel entrepreneurs ( Векселя антрепренёрши (Wekselya antreprenyorshi), 1907) and some shorter books.
