More on Leonie Rysanek
Description from Wikipedia:
Leopoldine "Leonie" Rysanek (November 14, 1926–March 7, 1998) was an Austrian dramatic soprano.
Rysanek was born in Vienna and made her operatic debut in 1949 in Innsbruck. Her Metropolitan Opera debut came in 1959 as Lady Macbeth, replacing Maria Callas who had been "fired" from the production. She made her farewell to the Met as the Countess in The Queen of Spades in January 1996. Her final performance was at the Salzburg Festival in August 1996, as Klytämnestra in Elektra. Over her lengthy career, she sang 299 performances of 24 roles at the Met. She starred in the Met premieres of Macbeth, Nabucco, Ariadne auf Naxos, Die Frau ohne Schatten, and Katya Kabanova.
In 1951, she was the first Sieglinde of the new Bayreuth Festival in Die Walküre under Herbert von Karajan.
She was appointed curator of the Vienna Festival (Wiener Festwochen) a few months after her retirement, a post she held until her death in Vienna at age 71 (she had been diagnosed with bone cancer during her last Met performances).
