Elfriede Harden
Elfriede Harden (before 1885 - after 1902) was an opera singer ( soprano ).
Life
Harden began her stage career in 1899 at the Leipzig City Theater . Just one year later she was brought to the Freiburg City Theater , where she made her successful debut in the role of “Santuzza”.
She represented the highly dramatic subject and was generally described as a promising singer, and her voice, trained in all registers, as well as her sympathetic playing fully justified this assumption.
Her life after 1902 is unknown.
