Life and career

Therese Grünbaum was born in Vienna to Austrian conductor and composer Wenzel Müller (1767–1835) and his second wife Magdalena Valley Reining. Therese studied music with her father and made her stage debut in the part of Lilli in Ferdinand Kauer's Das Donauweibchen while still a child.

In 1807 Grünbaum took a position as a singer at the Prague Theater, and in 1815 Carl Maria von Weber composed a special scene and aria for her performance of the title role of Étienne Méhul's Héléna. In 1816 she moved back to Vienna, and in 1819 at the Kärntnertor Theater, she sang Desdemona in the Viennese debut performance of Gioachino Rossini's Otello. From 1818-1828, she sang at the Court Opera in Vienna. In 1823 she created the role of Eglantine in Weber's Euryanthe. She also sang guest roles in Munich (1827) and in Berlin (1828–1830).[1]

After retiring from her concert career for health reasons, Grünbaum opened a music school in Berlin. She died in Berlin.

In 1813 Grünbaum married tenor Johann Christoph Grünbaum (1785–1870) and had two daughters (Caroline Grünbaum, 1814-1868, and Ottilia, 1816-1817) and two sons (Carl, b. 1815 and Joseph, b. 1816), all of whom became singers.[2]

gollark: But the question is: is it actually worth it/do we get better education out of it per $?
gollark: If you look at historical pricing of this sort of level of education, IIRC it has increased *massively* since... 40 years ago?
gollark: I like this! It plays perfectly to governments' strengths!
gollark: So is this a new economic theory of "increase government inefficiency to make the economy more economier"?
gollark: You have to pay for it through either some monetary-policy haxxx, or taxes, which take money away from good hard-working citizens*.
