Dorothy Larsen

Dorothy Jane Larsen (1911–1990) was an American-born Danish operatic soprano. She made her début in Copenhagen's Royal Danish Theatre as Fricka in ''Die Walküre'' in 1937 and remained with the company until 1960. Appearing in a wide variety of roles, she went on to develop her Wagnerian talents as Elisabeth in ''Tannhäuser'' and Elsa in ''Lohengrin'' but was also particularly admired as ''Tosca''. In 1949, she was honoured by King Frederik IX as a Royal Chamber Singer. She performed as a guest in Dresden and Vienna. Provided by Wikipedia
