Elisabeth Rethberg
Elisabeth Rethberg was a powerhouse German soprano who lit up the opera world in the 1920s and ’30s. Known for her velvety voice and dramatic flair, she became a star at New York’s Metropolitan Opera, where she wowed audiences in iconic roles like Verdi’s Aida and Mozart’s Donna Anna (*Don Giovanni*). Her collaborations with legends like tenor Giacomo Lauri-Volpi (yep, that’s him on *Lauri-Volpi Sings Verdi*) cemented her status as one of the era’s greats. Fans loved her versatility—she could swing from Wagner’s intensity to Mozart’s elegance without missing a beat.
Though her career slowed after WWII, Rethberg’s legacy lives on through historic recordings (check out *Elisabeth Rethberg Sings Verdi* for proof). Collections like *Lebendige Vergangenheit* and *1920’s Opera Legend* capture her rich tone and emotional depth, offering a timeless glimpse into the golden age of opera. A true diva of her time, she remains a favorite for vintage opera buffs.
