Johanna Constanzia Weinzierl

Johanna Constanzia Weinzierl , married Johanna Constanzia Goßmann ( February 10, 1807 in Munich - October 13, 1840 in Würzburg ), was a German opera singer (soprano).

Life

Her musical talent expressed itself early on, so that the father, a Bavarian regimental quartermaster, felt compelled to give the little one piano lessons from Franz Joseph Fröhlich and singing lessons from Franz Xaver Eisenhofer in Würzburg, where he was in the garrison . The unfortunate circumstances into which her father had gotten forced her to take the position of a teacher at a music institute and in this way to utilize the knowledge she had acquired. Her beautiful voice occasionally caught the attention of a charity concert, and from then on she was repeatedly heard in public, until, encouraged by her successes, she gave up teaching and turned to the stage.

Her main effectiveness was probably limited to Würzburg, where she was engaged, but she also appeared repeatedly as a guest in Munich. "Malwina" in Vampyr , "Amenaide" in Tancredi , " Queen of the Night " and "Princess of Novarra" were among her most popular performances, in which her not particularly powerful, but extraordinarily well-trained and sonorous voice achieved the best effect. On September 29, 1835, she married Professor Johann Bartholomäus Goßmann (1811–1854), who was employed at the royal university in Würzburg , and left the stage entirely. Only in concerts did she take the opportunity to let her sympathetic singing sound. The artist died after a short marriage on October 13, 1840 in Würzburg.

Her children were the theater actresses Friederike (1836–1906) and Marie Goßmann (after 1831–1917).
