Nina Gned

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nina Gned , actually Anna Maria Gned , also Nina [von] Kölla and Nina Köller von Stäfa , ( September 30, 1811 in Baden near Vienna - December 15, 1874 in Hanover ) was an Austrian child actress , theater actress and opera singer ( alto ).

Life

Gned, the daughter of the actor couple Josef and Elise Gned , took the stage in Pest as a child in Peter Ritter's opera Solomoni's Judgment for the first time at the age of 10 , sang in the choir at the age of 11 and played lively lovers and soubrettes at the age of 15 , but won also in opera, e.g. B. as "raisin" in the barber of Seville and "neighbor" in bricklayers and locksmiths , great successes.

In 1828 she came to the Karlovy Vary Theater as an opera soubrette and from there to the State Theater in Prague as contralto, where she worked in an outstanding manner for four years. Then she was in Graz, where she found recognition in comedy and operetta, then in Brno and Zurich. In 1846 she went to the court theater in Hanover, where she stayed until her death. There she celebrated her 50th anniversary as an artist on November 15, 1871.

As an actress she embodied in later years the subject of the "comical old man"; the “Crescenz” in Salomon Hermann Mosenthal's folk play Der Sonnwendhof was described as her best performance in this field .

Her sister was Louise Gned , also an opera singer (soprano). Her daughter Emmy Gned (1843–1921) was also an opera singer and married to the composer and conductor Arno Kleffel (1840–1913). Her second daughter Aurora (* 1844) was also a singer.

Gnedgasse (formerly Billrothgasse ) has been named in her honor since 1955 in the part of the 13th district of Vienna that was formerly part of the Wall .

Remarks

  1. ↑ The contemporary stage almanacs and Eisenberg incorrectly state Nina von Kölla as her maiden name, cf. on this Felix Czeike: Historisches Lexikon Wien. Volume 5. Kremayr & Scheriau, Vienna 1997, ISBN 3-218-00547-7 , p. 476, also Gnedgasse in the Vienna History Wiki of the City of Vienna . According to operissimo or the ÖML, that was her short-term married name. The spelling Köller von Stäfa cited there is apparently based on a misunderstanding: her husband, the violinist Johann Kölla, came from Stäfa in Switzerland.
