Mathilde Löffler , married Mathilde von Ehrenthal , ( April 12, 1852 in Darmstadt - August 15, 1903 in Heidelberg ) was a German theater actress and opera singer ( soprano ).

Life

Löffler, the daughter of the Grand Ducal Hessian chamber musician Johann Löffler, received her first lessons from Agnes Eppert . As a novice she was hired at the Darmstadt court theater. Initially considered with smaller roles, but later entered with larger roles as a youthful lover, she even achieved great success as "Therese Krones", "Fenella", "Perdita" and "Leonie" ( women's fight ).

In the winter of 1870 she moved to Bremen , where she had already been given singing roles. During the winter of 1870 to 1872 she worked as a soubrette at the Strampfertheater in Vienna . In Vienna she took singing lessons from Josef Eichberger junior and Krantz.

Finally, from March 1872 to autumn 1882, she was hired for the same subject at the Dresden Court Theater, where she remained until 1882.

On September 1, 1882, she went to Düsseldorf as a coloratura singer (until 1883) and then filled this subject in Schwerin for the next two years (1883–1884). Illness forced her not to be able to accept a contract extension in Schwerin. She had to take a full year off.

From June 1, 1886 she was engaged again at the Dresden court theater (until 1898).
