history

The great importance of the princely courts for private performances in a small circle in courtly chambers, especially in the 17th century, as opposed to public events in churches and theaters, was reflected in the titles given by the princes to their artists in the 19th century, such as chamber singer, Chamber virtuoso, chamber musician a. a. The Danube Monarchy provided the honored musicians with the Viennese “court actress” and the “court actor” of the kk Hofburgtheater . While the disappearance of the imperial court, "court of council was" survived without problems, the director of the Vienna Burgtheater beat Franz Herterich as a substitute for the "Hof actor to" " chamber before actor". Federal President Michael Hainisch followed this suggestion and in 1926 created the new Austrian "Chamber" title for artists in the field of music and the performing arts . As a result, the chamber actor title was awarded to members of the Burgtheater for a long time, but in 1971 it was also formally incorporated into the Austrian system of “ profession-specific honorary titles ”. As a result, the title was no longer restricted to members of the Burgtheater, but was also given to members of the other Austrian federal theaters and ultimately to artists from other Austrian theaters. Vilma Degischer was the first actress who was awarded the title, but not engaged at the Burgtheater.
