Johanna Gadski

**Johanna Gadski** was a powerhouse German soprano who rocked the opera world in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born in 1872, she became a star at New York’s Metropolitan Opera, wowing audiences with her soaring, dramatic voice—especially in Wagnerian roles like Brünnhilde. Gadski was a mainstay at the Met from 1898 to 1917, though her career in the U.S. slowed during World War I due to anti-German sentiment. Her recordings, including standout performances of Mozart’s *Die Zauberflöte* and Strauss’s tender *Ständchen*, capture her vibrant tone and theatrical flair. A true diva of the gramophone era, she left a lasting legacy before passing away in 1932.
