Life

Therese Peche was the daughter of an Austrian officer. She gained her first stage experience in the Niklastheater on Wiedner Hauptstrasse in Vienna. In 1826/1827 she was engaged at the Bonn Theater , where August Wilhelm Schlegel saw her in Romeo and Juliet , among others , and predicted a brilliant career for her. The Hamburg City Theater signed her in 1827 as a "tragic lover ". In 1828 she moved to the Hoftheater Darmstadt , from there she went to the Hoftheater Stuttgart in 1829 . There Amalie von Stubenrauch , the mistress of the Württemberg King Wilhelm I , proved to be a rival, which is why she left Stuttgart and became a permanent member of the Burgtheater in Vienna in 1830 . In 1840 she married the French Jean Pierre Vimal de Jauzat (1806–1864), but continued to work as an actress until 1867. At the Burgtheater she took on roles such as Ophelia in Hamlet or Portia in The Merchant of Venice . Wolfgang Menzel wrote about her: “This girl is not a trained actress [...] Here, art is nothing, nature is everything, school is nothing, the person is everything. Just give this Therese Peche a flower to look at, and you will see Ophelia in her more than in the most thoughtful play of the most famous actress during an entire evening. " August Lewald wrote of her as Juliet in Romeo and Juliet:" You can't hold it for exaggerated: but anyone who saw the first appearance of Julia Capulet by Therese Peche felt something of enchantment in himself. This poetic moment of the great drama cannot be portrayed more poetically. ”Real theater professionals were far more critical. After a performance of Adolph Müllner's tragedy Die Schuld (with Peche in the role of Jerta) at the Vienna Burgtheater on March 4, 1831, Peche's colleague Carl Ludwig Costenoble wrote in his diary:

“Today the guilt became a great sin guilt of Heurteurs, Anschützen and bad luck. Forgive them Lord - they do not know what they are doing! as a Christian one must call that out when one hears and sees these people doing business. Jerta = Peche declaimed and whimpered like a stepped worm would have whimpered if it had a voice. The level-headed, calm, firm, loving angel soul of a Jerta with the masculine power of action, where it is a matter of wresting a being from destruction, does not even understand the superficial misfortune. The admirers up there, or down there, clap enough because the good Lord created the cute pitch. "

At the end of her career she gave salon ladies .

In 1930 Pechegasse in the Vienna district of Meidling was named after her.
