from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Serafine Marietherese Wilhelmine Eleonore Détschy , also Serafine Detschy ( July 9, 1858 in Graz - November 2, 1927 in Berlin ) was an Austrian theater actress , rhetoric teacher and writer .

Life

Détschy, daughter of a doctor from a Hungarian family, showed her inclination for the stage at an early age. The guest appearance of Klara Ziegler ultimately convinced her to become an actress as well. After the examination by Josef Lewinsky , who had recognized her talent, she taught the latter in language and declamation and Bernhard Baumeister taught her the natural conversational tone.

In Brno she then entered the stage for the first time as “Marianne” in Goethe's siblings . She was hired and soon assigned a wider range of roles. After she had auditioned scenes from Orsina with Heinrich Laube , she received an engagement in Graz (1878–1880), then went to Schwerin (1881–1882) and then to Vienna.

Although she was engaged at the castle after her brilliant debut in Bürgerlich und Romantisch , she did not join the association of this stage, but rather went to the Carltheater (1883). Due to the collapse of the theater, she was forced to move to the Vienna City Theater that same year. But she also had to leave this after May 16, 1884 because it burned down on that day.

From 1885 to 1887 she was engaged at the Stadttheater Hamburg, then at the Hoftheater in Stuttgart and in 1889 at the Thaliatheater in Vienna. She moved to St. Petersburg, but the engagement ended in 1890 when the German Court Theater was dissolved there.

From 1890 to 1894 she then worked in Berlin at the Lessing Theater (in between she completed a long tour (1892-1893) to New York at the Irving Place Theater). There she found the opportunity to create some new roles, including "Ada" in the scandalous play Sodom's Legacy by Hermann Sudermann . However, she left the Lessing Theater because the drama and classical play were not looked after enough there, her real domain. She went to the Schillertheater Berlin for this. In 1897 she left there and only worked freelance.

Of her roles, the "Francisca" in the Karlsschülern , the "Burger-Lies" in the perjury , the "Lady Milford" and the "Ulrike" in Tender Relatives , "Countess Antonie" in the women's fight , "Cornelia" in Gracchus , " Duchess "in glass of water etc.

She also worked as a dramatic teacher and writer. She published mostly with Boysen and Dr. Eysler & Co.
