In the Viennese premieres of Wagner's Ring des Nibelungen she was involved as Rhine daughter Woglinde and as Valkyrie Helmwige. In subsequent performances, she also took on the voice of the forest bird in Siegfried . Siegstädt sang French, Italian and German repertoire. She took on a number of pants roles , such as the Jemmy, the Siébel, the Urban and various shepherds.
Siegstädt was mentioned again after she left the Vienna Court Opera in 1883, but then every trace of her is lost.
