Käthe Kollwitz saw a performance of the ballet pantomime at the Wintergarten in January 1917 and made only a brief note about her niece’s dancing: “Katrine is very graceful.”
From November 1925, Maria Solveg—who often performed with her sister—was also to appear as Princess Fay-yen in performances of “Die Grüne Flöte.”
