About
Elisabeth Schwarzkopf was born in Jarocin, Poland. She was a German singer. In the 1950s and 1960s, she was a fixture on the worldwide opera circuit, performing regularly in the great concert halls of Europe and the United States and making immortal recordings of many important operas and German lieder. Her delivery of some of operas classic roles, particularly the Marschallin in Der Rosenkavalier, set the standard for generations of sopranos to come. While her stature as one of the great singers of her time is secure, Schwarzkopf's activities in Germany during the Nazi era have cast a shadow of scandal on her otherwise sterling career.
