Life
Henriette Gottlieb had her first engagement in 1909 at the Stadttheater Plauen , from 1913 she was continuously engaged at the Städtische Oper (German Opera House Berlin).
In 1918 she sang Marion in the Berlin premiere of d'Albert's love chains and took part in the world premiere of the opera Die Hügelmühle by Friedrich Ernst Koch , and in 1923 she sang in the world premiere of the opera Holofernes by EN von Reznicek . Gottlieb was best known as a Wagner interpreter and sang all the great soprano roles such as Brünnhilde in the Ring of the Nibelung , Ortrud in Lohengrin , Venus in Tannhäuser and Kundry in Parsifal . But she also sang roles such as Leonore in Fidelio , the Queen of Earth Spirits in Hans Heiling von Marschner , and Rachel in Halévy's La juive . At the Bayreuth Festival between 1927 and 1930 she was employed as the third Norn, Ortlinde and one of the Valkyries, anti-Semitism on the Green Hill prevented larger roles and further engagement. During a guest performance at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris in 1930 under Franz von Hoesslin , she sang Gerhilde in Die Walküre , but took over the role of Brünnhilde on the subsequent recordings at Pathé , since Frida Leider and Nanny Larsén-Todsen were contractually bound to other companies were. She also sang roles such as the witch in Hansel and Gretel and the Ciesca in Gianni Schicchi by Puccini .
As a Jew, she could no longer perform in Germany after the handover of power to the National Socialists and she lost her livelihood. On October 24, 1941, she and her husband, scrap iron dealer Carl Huth, were deported to the Litzmannstadt ghetto in occupied Poland on the second transport of Berlin Jews , and they perished there under the inhuman conditions. Carl Huth died on May 3, 1942.
