July 12 - Kirsten Flagstad (The Musical Birthday Series, 2nd Annual Cycle)

Kirsten Flagstad (12 July 1895 – 7 December 1962) was a Norwegian opera singer famous for her Wagnerian roles.

Flagstad, from the land of trolls,

Sang the heavy Wagner roles.

Wagner’s gods and mythic regions

Are congenial to Norwegians.
