Life

Born in Linz, Kartousch attended the music school in Linz and was trained in Vienna. She had children's roles in Linz and from 1902 worked as a second soubrette in Graz, where she also appeared in opera (for example as a Walküre).[1] From 1907 to 1921, she performed at the Theater an der Wien in Lehár's, Fall's and Kálmán's operettas. She was described as a "soubrette of race and temperament" and the press highlighted her joy of playing and dancing. Kartousch also performed at the Raimundtheater, the Volksoper Wien and the Theater in der Josefstadt.[2]

Kartousch died in Vienna at the age of 77. Her grave is located at the Hietzing Cemetery.
