Therese Krones
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Therese Krones (1801-30) was an Austrian actress of much ability and grace in comic parts. She was born at Freudenthal of parents who were engaged in the theatrical business. After several provincial tours she appeared at the Leopoldstädter Theater in Vienna, where she played with Raimund, who greatly influenced her technique. In 1827 she retired from the stage for a time, being unjustly accused of complicity in the murder of Professor Blank, by Jaroszynski. She wrote several plays - Sylphide and Nebelgeist among them - and is the central figure in a novel by Bäuerle (1854-55) and in a melodrama by Hafner (1861).
