Friedrich Wilhelm Haffner

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Friedrich Wilhelm Haffner ( 1760 in Dresden - February 18, 1828 ibid) was a German theater actor and singer .

Life

Haffner entered the stage for the first time in 1777 at the Schulz Society (or the Bondin Society) and in 1781 he joined Karl Theophil Döbbelin in Berlin, where he made his debut as "Lieutenant Altdorf" in No More than Six Bowls . In 1786 he was committed to Magdeburg, 1790 to Franz Schuch in Königsberg, and in 1792 to Riga.

After Haffner made his debut as "Oberförster" in Jäger , "Max Roller" in the family of poets and "Odoardo" in Emilia Galotti with Franz Seconda in Leipzig, he was won over to this stage, where he worked until 1818. That year he retired.

His representations were praised for warmth, loyalty, and truth, and soon he became an appreciable force in the field of affectionate fathers and moody old people. His pattern had always been Ferdinand Fleck , which he liked to copy without, however, making it conspicuous. One of his best achievements was the “Wachtmeister” in Wallenstein's camp , about which Körner judged in 1801: “I have never seen him so well in a role. He developed really con amore, you could see that clearly. He always hit the tune happily, kept a certain sense of humor and really gave me pleasure. ”His brilliant roles also included:“ Miller ”in Kabale und Liebe ,“ Wachtmeister ”in Minna von Barnhelm ,“ Schweizer ”in Räuber ,“ Odoardo Galotti " Etc.
