Hallo dort, Liebling!

Hallo dort, Liebling! My name is Lotte Lehmann, and I am a famous opera singer. I’m a soprano, which means I have a high vocal range. I’ve been in a total of 93 operas in my life. I found my true artistic home in Vienna, where my good friend Richard Strauss listened to me sing as an understudy for his opera Ariadne auf Naxos and chose me to sing in its world premiere! I sing in many other operas, and I am also a music teacher. I sang for the first time in London in 1914, and gave my farewell performance there in 1938. As I’ve always said, “The music is the shining path over which the poet travels to bring his song to the world,” (Lehmann, unknown). I’m considered to be one of the greatest singing actresses of all time, and am a very inspiring person to any person who aspires to live their life surrounded by the joy of music. Musik ist meine Lebensdauer! (Music is my life!)
