She made her international debut at the Metropolitan Opera in 1932, and became the pre-eminent Wagnerian soprano of her generation. Retiring from the operatic stage in 1953, she continued to give recitals and make recordings (primarily of Wagner and Norwegian composers) and was, for a few years, the director of the Norwegian State Opera. |
