This is your chance to read excerpts from Lehmann many writings. The historically important Postscript to her autobiography makes gripping reading even today.

Lehmann had a way with words. She could explain the way she interpreted a role or a song in a manner that non-singers and singers alike enjoyed.

The detailed summary of the story of Der Rosenkavalier is the longest article presented here. Lehmann was considered the expert on this opera, so it is fitting to find a serious consideration of all facets of the libretto.

Her enthusiastic appreciation for conductors such as Toscanini and Bruno Walter found outlet in writing too.

Don't miss excerpts from her only novel, Eternal Flight. She may have sub-consciously described aspects of herself.
