Biographical notes:

Anneliese Jolowicz, a soprano, sang the leading role of Jenny in Kurt Weill's controversial opera Aufstieg und Fall der Stadt Mahagonny in Kassel in 1930, soon after its riot-ridden premiere in Leipzig.

Although achieving recognition for her excellence both as singer and actress, she did not continue to develop her career, perhaps as a result of her marriage (husband's name: Von Molnar). Maurice Abravanel, the conductor of the above-mentioned production, remembered her in 1978 "not only as an outstanding artist, but also as a lady of superior intelligence, courage, and compassion."

From the description of Materials documenting the production of Kurt Weill's Aufstieg und Fall der Stadt Mahagonny at the Staatstheater in Kassel, 1930, 1929-1979 (bulk 1929-1930). (Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison). WorldCat record id: 122619127
