Emilie Kaulla

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Emilie Isabella Kaulla (born July 9, 1833 in Karlsruhe , † September 29, 1912 in Munich ) was a German singer and singing teacher.

Life

Kaulla was the daughter of the Karlsruhe court attorney Veit Ettlinger and his second wife Sarah Sophie, née Kaulla , from Augsburg . As a singer in the mixed choir of the Karlsruhe Cäcilienverein she received her first vocal training from the opera singer Anton Haizinger . From 1858 to 1861 she stayed with her brother in Paris . Through her cousin, the composer Friedrich Gernsheim , who was also living in Paris at the time , she came into contact with Julius Stockhausen , in whose choir she led, and the singer and singing teacher Pauline Viardot-Garcia , both of whom influenced her vocal development. The cousin's circle of friends also included the composer Camille Saint-Saëns , the conductor Édouard Colonne and the violinists Teresa and Maria Milanollo as well as the brothers Hermann and Wilhelm Levi .

Back in Germany, she married the banker Hermann (Hirsch) Kaulla (1821–1876) from Harburg in 1861 , a relative of her mother. Shortly thereafter, the couple moved to Munich, where Kaulla opened a banking business and, among other things, was appointed a jury member at the Munich jury. The marriage had two children, Margarete and Friedrich (Salomon)

Emilie Kaulla continued to take singing lessons in Munich - among others with the Wagner singer Caroline Leonoff (1842–1888; Kempter married in 1871) - and initiated a singing quartet. Through the mediation of Hermann Levi, who had returned to Munich, guests of her musical salon were the largely unknown composers Johannes Brahms and Richard Strauss , who presented their first compositions here. Other visitors were Felix Mottl , Felix vom Rath and Max von Schillings as well as Ludwig Thuille and his student Julius Weismann .

In 1876, after the death of her husband, Emilie Kaulla, herself a soprano, became a singing teacher. Her pupils included the future concert singer Pia von Safe (1854–1922), Fritz Rémond , Clara Weber , the soprano and actress Charlotte Schloß (1871–1911) and the Norwegian Elisabeth Munthe-Kaas (1882–1959). She expanded her vocal quartet into a larger choir, to whose direction she was able to win over Joseph Rubinstein and Wilhelm Kienzl , among others .

In the 1880s she organized with their pupils several performances, so the wood thief by Heinrich Marschner , Jean de Paris by François-Adrien Boieldieu , the Singspiel The conspirators (The Domestic War) by Franz Schubert , the comic operas mason and fitter of Daniel-François-Esprit Auber or good night, Mr. Pantalon by Albert Grisar .

She was friends with the Munich women's rights activist Hedwig Pringsheim, among others .
