Lucie Weidt

Lucie Weidt (1876 – 1940), dramatic soprano at the Vienna Hofoper for the better part of a quarter of a century, vintage silver print 'real photo' postcard.  

Lucie Weidt’s career was no provincial affair by any means. She studied with Rosa Papier-Paumgartner in Vienna and made her operatic début at Leipzig in 1900. Elisabeth in Tannhäuser was her Vienna début rôle in 1902. While the Hofoper remained the center of her activities until her retirement in 1926, Weidt’s remarkable dramatic soprano voice led to engagements in Paris, Milan, Amsterdam, Brussels, Buenos Aires and New York. The Marschallin and Kundry were generally regarded as her finest interpretations. In 1919 she created to role of "The Nurse" (Amme) in Die Frau ohne Schatten. After retirement, she taught in Vienna and resided there till her death.

Verso bears original postcard graphics and handwritten notations. In very good condition with light silvering to its edges.
