Margit Angerer
Margit Angerer [b. von Rupp], also: Margit Schenker-Angerer ( November 6, 1895 (not 1903) in Budapest - January 31, 1978 in London ) was a Hungarian opera and concert singer with a soprano voice .
life and work
After studying singing in Budapest, the Angerer made her debut in Vienna in 1926 as Verdi's Leonora . Her debut caused a sensation because she came from prominent Viennese society and not from the ranks of young artists; Angerer was married to the owner of the shipping company Schenker & Co. , Gottfried Schenker-Angerer. Her debut was the first of more than 160 leading roles at the Vienna State Opera from 1927 to 1935, primarily as Octavian in Rosenkavalier , as Elsa in Lohengrin and as Dorota in Schwanda, the bagpiper . In the Haus am Ring she also sang Lisa , Micaëla , the composer and Rosalinde in der Fledermaus .
The role of Octavian brought her career particularly strong. In a letter to Richard Strauss, Hugo von Hofmannsthal wrote: Die (Schenker) -Angerer as Octavian is lovely and always better; the best line-up ever since opera existed. Necessarily the Angerer to Salzburg take ... . And that's how it happened: At the Salzburg Festival of 1930 , Angerer made her debut in the title role of Gluck's Iphigénie en Aulide . In 1933 she sang the Aithra in the Egyptian Helena von Hofmannsthal and Strauss . She played Octavian in Salzburg until 1935.
Also in the film Angerer had at least an appearance: 1933 as a concert singer in the Rakoczy march of Gustav Frohlich . In Vienna she gained a good reputation as a song interpreter at an early age, for example at the premiere of the Three Songs for Voice and Piano op. 22 in 1928 by Erich Wolfgang Korngold ; the composer accompanied her on the piano.
The singer no longer appeared at the State Opera after 1935; she counted herself as part of the political resistance, but stayed in Vienna during the Second World War. In October 1944, she and her daughter were in Gestapo detention . She later moved to London, where no further appearances are recorded.
Several recordings exist, including a compilation with Alfred Piccaver and popular duets by Gounod , Massenet , Puccini and Wagner .
