Marie Kreuzer

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Marie Katharina Kreuzer , divorced Barnay (born March 11, 1839 in Salzburg ; died January 7, 1904 in Ulm ), was an Austrian opera singer ( soprano ). She was a daughter of the court opera tenor Heinrich Kreuzer and the singer Amalie Kreuzer . This marriage resulted in a total of five children: Rudolph (born February 6, 1836 in Laibach), Caesar (born July 9, 1854 in Cologne), Sebastian (born November 26, 1842 in Mannheim) and Elise Stephanie Kreuzer (1845–1936 ), who married the prince's son Paul von Thurn und Taxis and also became a singer.

Life and artistic career

Marie Kreuzer was probably trained by her father and made her stage debut in 1855 in Ödenburg . In the 1856/57 season she had an engagement at the Augsburg City Theater , followed by engagements at the Detmold Court Theater (1857/58), the Stettin City Theater (1858/59), the German Theater Budapest (1859/60), and the Brno Theater (1860/61), at the State Theater Graz (1861–1863) and at the City Theater Mainz (1863/64).

In 1864 she married the actor and theater director Ludwig Barnay . The marriage resulted in three daughters, of which only Charlotte , who was born in Frankfurt am Main in 1872 and who later became a successful Berlin painter and singer as “Lolo Barnay”, reached adulthood. The marriage later ended in divorce.

This was followed by further engagements at the Thalia Theater in Graz (1864/65) and again in Mainz from 1863 to 1867. From 1868 to 1870 she was part of the Weimar Court Theater ensemble . From 1873 to 1875 she was engaged at the Frankfurt Opera House .

Her second marriage was to the actor and director Heinrich Robert , who was in charge of the Ulm City Theater at the time . There she still appeared occasionally under the name "Marie Robert-Kreuzer".
