Hilde Konetzni

Younger (by 3 years), and by way of a fair margin even more famous, of both Konetzni sisters (both well-known singers), Hilde Konetzni was created in Vienna in past due March 1905. Like her sister, she researched voice in the Vienna Conservatory and took personal lessons in Prague for some time before her 1929 debut in the Chemnitz Opera; there she sang the part of Sieglinde in Wagner’s Die Walküre, while her sister Anny sang the part of Brünnhilde. She was employed for regular looks from the German Theatre in Prague in 1932, and in 1936 she became a member of the roster of regulars in the Vienna Staatsoper. Out of this house base she steadily conquered the main houses of European countries — La Scala, Covent Backyard, Milan, Salzburg — and america. Hilde Konetzni is normally thought to be having got a somewhat smaller sized but perhaps even more refined tone of voice than her elder sister. She therefore felt entirely in the home in Mozart, and Covent Backyard audiences specifically liked her Die Zauberflöte and Don Giovanni attempts. She was still in a position to build a status like a first-rate exponent of Richard Strauss and Wagner tasks, nevertheless — Sieglinde within the Band and Elisabeth in Tannhäconsumer, specifically. Her sister retired in 1955, but Hilde continuing performing well in to the 1960s, though not really perhaps using the same specialist that designated her earlier function. In 1954, she became a member of the faculty from the Vienna Academy. Younger Konetzni passed away on Apr 20, 1980, having survived her sister by 12 years.
