Joseph Caché
Joseph Caché (born August 26, 1770 in Vienna ; † January 26, 1841 ibid) was an Austrian opera singer ( tenor ), actor and writer .
Life
Caché initially belonged to the Freihausheater ensemble and from January 1802 to the Theater an der Wien . He was there, among other things, on November 10, 1804 at the world premiere of Salieri's opera Die Neger as John on the stage; at the premiere of the first version of Beethoven's opera Fidelio on November 20, 1805, he played the role of porter Jaquino.
Ignaz Franz Castelli writes that Caché was a good actor, “who sometimes had to be used in opera because director Meyer knew very well that in comic opera a good performance often works better than a good voice. His singing parts usually had to be hammered into him before he was allowed to rehearse. "
From 1814 to March 31, 1831 he was a member of the Vienna court theater. In addition, he also emerged as a stage poet.
His apartment was last at Wieden No. 12, where he died on January 26, 1841 at the age of 71 "of exhaustion".
