Heiberg, Johanne Luise

Heiberg, Johanne Luise

▪ Danish actress
née Pätges
born Nov. 22, 1812, Copenhagen
died Nov. 22, 1890, Copenhagen

      Danish actress and manager, lionized by the intelligentsia of her day.

      Heiberg began performing at an early age, singing for the patrons of her father's tavern and billiard parlour. She made her initial appearance as a singer-dancer at the Royal Theatre at age 14. In 1828 she played the role of Agnete in a new vaudeville production, Elverhøj (“Elfinhill”). The play was an unmitigated success (it is revived to the present day and is the source of the Danish National Anthem), and Johanne became a star. In 1831 she married the playwright, Johan Ludvig Heiberg.

      Until 1864, when she retired from acting upon the death of her frequent co-star, Michael Wiehe, Heiberg was the premiere actress of the Danish stage, excelling in the classics and in the musicals that established her fame. Her coterie represented the best minds in Danish culture. Until 1879 she directed plays, and it was her encouragement that resulted in Henrik Ibsen having the majority of his later plays premiere at the Royal Theatre. Her autobiography in four volumes, A Life Relived in Recollection (1891–92), was published posthumously.
