Jolowicz, Anneliese, collector.

Hide Profile

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."
