Life

Simmering fire hall - urn grave by Tiny Hollitzer-Senders

The mezzo-soprano began her career as a choir player at the Vienna Carltheater and from 1897 appeared in crude comic roles in the light genre - from farce to operetta . In 1902 Senders went to Berlin, where she was initially successful with Viennese songs and couplets . In the 1903/04 season she got an engagement at the New Theater, which later became the Theater am Schiffbauerdamm , which Max Reinhardt had just taken over at the time. During this time, the portrait painting of the artist was created, which Lovis Corinth presented at the ninth exhibition of the Berlin Secession in 1904.

In 1904 Senders moved to the Vienna Burgtheater , to which she belonged until 1932. She was originally hired "for the comic subject, especially older roles", but also asserted herself as a character actress. In 1920, Senders took part in the birth of the Salzburg Festival in the first Jedermann performance on Domplatz, directed by Max Reinhardt, as Des Schuldknechts Weib .

Senders had been married to the Austrian building contractor Franz Emil Hollitzer (1878–1941) since 1906 and was sister-in-law of the painter Carl Leopold Hollitzer .

She was buried in an urn niche at the Simmering fire hall (ALI 22) in Vienna.
