Christa Ludwig (16 March 1928 – 24 April 2021) was a German mezzo-soprano and occasional dramatic soprano distinguished for her performances of opera, lieder, and oratorio.
Having It All
Christa Ludwig had no single fach.
She sang Bellini, Wagner, Strauss, and Bach.
She sang von Einem, Verdi, and what’s more,
She found soprano roles she could explore.
But even this was not enough, dear reader,
She also pleased the connoisseurs in lieder.
In all that she attempted she succeeded,
And few have left the legacy that she did.
