The baritone player Adolf Stein , who was engaged in Petersburg, taught her German as well as singing, later he married her and got her an engagement at the imperial court theater. There she probably only played minor roles, but already in her closest sphere of activity in Breslau , where she made her debut in the title role of the comedy The jealous woman , she played first lovers. From here she was called to Bamberg and from there to Breslau, where she already played salon ladies and heroines with great applause, and then to Hanover . For 20 years she was rightly one of the most honored artists in the field of older chaperones and tragic mothers. Forced by an incurable illness to renounce art, she withdrew in silence and died on September 27, 1866 of a stroke . It was one of the most beautiful ornaments of the Hanoverian court theater.
