Life
Hassel's stepfather, who was engaged at the electoral court theater in Kassel , approved it when he was already interested in the stage at a young age. At the age of nine he took the stage for the first time as the “choir boy” and a year later he sang the “first boy” in the Magic Flute .
He received his training in the theater school of the court theater and made such progress that in 1830 he was able to accept an engagement in Heiligenstadt near Göttingen . In the same year he was committed to Bremen . It was there that he discovered his voice, took lessons from Ferdinand Pillwitz and, not too long ago, received enthusiastic applause as "Telasco" in Gaspare Spontini's Cortez , and even as "Don Juan". In addition to his singing career, he did not neglect acting and was particularly popular in the genre of youthful, humorous roles.
His next engagement took him to Rostock , then he came to Königsberg as an opera director and representative of humorous roles in drama and opera . There he worked until 1857. In 1857 he was an actor in Breslau and Bremen at the same time , before he went to Prague in 1858. He stayed there until the end of his life. His last appearance was on April 29, 1882.
His wife was Theodora Hassel. Their daughter, the singer Katharina Hassel (1837-1905) was married to the actor Conrad Hallenstein .
