It is with great sadness that we report the passing of German soprano Anneliese Rothenberger, who died Monday May 24th near her home in Switzerland at the age of 83 (some argue she could have been 85 at the time of her death).
The soprano's hey-day was in the 1950s and 60s, when she appeared at all the leading opera houses of the world. She performed a great deal more in Europe than in the U.S. and kept a long-standing and faithful relationship with the Hamburg State Opera. She was also often seen in recital and appeared numerous times on television, especially in Europe. She will be remembered most especially for her crystalline sound and impressive acting skills on stage.
