Martha Mödl

Martha Mödl with Hans Hotter.

Martha Mödl started singing seriously at the age of 28 and gave her debut in 1943 as Hänsel in Hänsel und Gretel at Stadttheater von Remscheid. At Hamburg Staatsoper she developed into a Wagner heroine. From the post war opening of the Wagner Festival in 1951, Martha Mödl was a regular there, singing the great Wagner roles like Brünnhilde, Sieglinde, Isolde and Kundry.
