Marie Anatour
Marie Anatour , also Maria Anatour ( March 5, 1856 in Vienna - 1929 in Meran , South Tyrol ) was an Austrian theater actress and soubrette ( soprano ).
Life
She was the daughter of the theater director Wilhelm Anatour and as a six-year-old child she was used on the stage under the direction of her parents, who from 1854 to 1868 were the best-known theater directors in Northern Bohemia and Saxony. She danced and played in the liveliest way and won a lot of applause at the time as the “false pepita” and the “cricket”. In 1869 she took on her first independent job in Pilsen , then came to Temesvar , in 1873 to the Friedrich Wilhelmstädtische Theater in Berlin, 1876 to Graz, 1882 to the Carltheater , 1893 to the Theater in der Josefstadt and in 1895 to the Lobe Theater in Breslau, where she worked in first position until 1891. Until then, she was a representative of the soubrette trade, but this year she switched to the field of bourgeois mothers and weird old people. She was immediately engaged on this stage for a long time, but the contract was dissolved in 1893 against penalties , as the artist joined the association of the newly founded Raimundtheater in that year and presented herself to the Viennese again as soubrette. She stayed there until at least 1902. She passed her old age impoverished in Merano.
Honors
In 1955, in her honor in the 13th district of Hietzing , the former Bürgergasse was renamed Anatourgasse (Auhof; settlement in the former Lainzer Tiergarten).
