Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: WIL-YAK
WOLTER, CHARLOTTE (1834-1897) , Austrian actress, was born at Cologne on the 1st of
March
  1834, and began her artistic career at Budapest in 18J7. She played
minor
  parts at the Karl
theatre in Vienna, and soon obtained an engagement at the Victoria theatre in Berlin, where she remained until 1861. Her performance of Hermione in the Winter's Tale took the playgoing world by
storm
 , and she was given in 1862 an appointment at the Vienna Hofburg theatre, to which she remained faithful until her death on the 14th of June 1897. According to her wish, she was buried in the costume of Iphigenia, in which role she had achieved her most brilliant success. Charlotte Wolter was one of the
great
  tragic actresses of
modern
  times. Her repertory included
Medea
 , Sappho, Lady
Macbeth
 ,
Mary
  Stuart, Preciosa, Phedre, Adrienne Lecouvreur, Jane Eyre and lVlessalina, in which
character
  she was immortalized by the painter Hans Makart. She was also an inimitable exponent of the heroines in plays by Grillparzer, Hebbel, Dumas and Sardou.
