| Abstract | Lotte Lehmann was the most beloved star of the Vienna State Opera during its most resplendent years, and sang to great acclaim in Europe, Australia and the Americas. She reigned supreme as Marschallin in Der Rosenkavalier and she sang the greatest Sieglinde, Elisabeth, and Fidelio of her time. Then, after a thirty-six year operatic career, Lehmann opened the door to German lieder to tremendous worldwide audiences. She sang three Town Hall recitals in New York every year. Her last years were spent in Santa Barbara, where she taught master classes at the Music Academy of the West. Though her death in 1976 at eighty-eight ended a magnificent era, her voice lives on in a great musical legacy of recordings. |
