Marianna Brunianová (1740–1799) was a stage actress. She was the daughter of the actor Ch. Schulze and married the ballet dancer Mion. From at least 1765 onward, she was engaged at the theater company of JJ Bruniana (whom she married in 1773), where she belonged to the leading members. Prior to the 1780s there was no permanent Czech language theater, but the travelling theater company of JJ Bruniana was based in Prague in 1768-78 and very successful. In 1796-99, she was engaged at the Vlastenské Theatre. She performed in both theater plays and operas and was perticularly noted as a soubrette.
