Amberg, Gustav (1844–1921), manager. Within two years of his coming to America from his native Prague during the Civil War, he was managing German‐language theatres in Detroit and Cincinnati. In 1879, along with Mathilde
Cottrelly and Heinrich Conried, he refurbished the historic old
Bowery Theatre, renamed it the Thalia, and presented there what one historian has called “the most brilliant sequence of stars and plays ever given here in German.” Amberg gave the American premieres of many contemporary Berlin and Viennese operettas and also presented such great German performers as Marie Geistinger, Antonie Janisch, Heinrich Bötel, Ernst Possart, and Gertrud Giers. In 1888 he built the Amberg Theatre (later the Irving Place), but a succession of poor seasons cost him the house in 1891, so his last active years were spent working for the
Shuberts.
