Life
Ruth Schob-Lipka studied singing with E. Schneider in Leipzig . Her debut took place in 1952 in the soprano role of Marta in Eugen d'Albert's musical drama Tiefland in the Döbeln theater . She stayed here for the next two years, moving to Eisenach from 1954 to 1958 , then to Halle until 1962 and finally to Walter Felsenstein at his Komische Oper Berlin . Here she distinguished herself not only as a singer, but also because of her special stage presence.
