Joseph Michael Boheim
Joseph Michael Böheim , also Josef Michael Böheim (around 1748 in Prague - July 4, 1811 in Berlin ) was a German theater actor , opera singer ( tenor ) and poet .
Life
Having grown up in the theater, he moved around with various actors' companies in Germany at an early age, until in 1779 he was given a permanent position with the Döbbelin troupe in Berlin. He made his debut there as "Graf Wallron" and was popular. Böheim was with the actress Marianne Böheim , geb. Wulfen (1757-1824) married. Their daughter was the actress Charlotte Dorothea Böheim .
From there he went to the markgräfl. Schwedtschen Hoftheater, then to the Taborschen stage in Frankfurt, until he returned to Berlin in 1789. From 1789 he belonged to the ensemble of the Berlin Royal National Theater . He entered the royal. National theater as "Graf Gloster" in " König Lear ". This and a later inaugural role in the field of fathers and character players led to his commitment. He stayed at this court stage until his death (1811), and just as he was almost invariably loved by the public as a spirited artist in his youth (especially as "Julius von Taranto"), he did not get it in the older subject either difficult to win and keep his favor.
It should also be mentioned that Böheim was the “ first templar master ” (Nathan) (Berlin April 4, 1783). In addition to his acting activities, he tried his hand at poetry and in 1795 and 1798, together with Joseph Karl Ambrosch, published several collections of “Freemason songs”. Both were members of the Berlin Freemason Lodge on Resistance .
