Biography

Elisabeth Rethberg was born in 1894 and became one of the most luminous sopranos of her era, enchanting audiences in Europe and on the stages of the Metropolitan Opera with her radiant voice and dignified presence.

After retiring from the spotlight she shared her knowledge with younger singers while remaining a beloved figure in concert halls, and she now rests at Amawalk Hill Cemetery, a fitting quiet place for a voice that once filled the loftiest houses.
