Later she sang as an apprentice with Walter Felsenstein at the Komische Oper Berlin . Engagements at the Biel Solothurn Theater and the Graz Opera House followed . In 1971 she made her debut in Graz as Countess in The Marriage of Figaro .

Sigrid Martikke made a guest appearance in 1969 as Countess Mariza in the operetta of the same name by Emmerich Kálmán at the Vienna Volksoper and was a permanent member of the ensemble in the Haus am Währinger Gürtel from 1973 to 1996. In 1982 she was awarded the title of Chamber Singer . In 1985 Sigrid Martikke made a guest appearance in Japan with the ensemble of the Vienna Volksoper . On this tour, she sang Countess Zedlau in Viennese blood and Hanna Glawari in The Merry Widow . At the Vienna Volksoper she was seen in numerous roles, including as Pamina and 1st Lady in Die Zauberflöte , as Baroness Gondremarck in Pariser Leben , as Giulietta in Hoffmann's Tales , as Rosalinde in Die Fledermaus and as Sylva Varsecu in Die Csárdásfürstin .

For many years Sigrid Martikke sang in the performance series at the Theater an der Wien , the Hanna Glawari in there first performed The Merry Widow with partners such as Johannes Heesters , Harald Serafin or Curt Malm . She has made guest appearances at the Bavarian State Opera as Countess in The Marriage of Figaro , as Musetta in La Bohème alongside Luciano Pavarotti at the Hamburg State Opera or at the Mörbisch Seefestspiele in Viktoria und ihr Husar .

From 1990 Martikke took over the character subject in opera, operetta and musical. In this subject she was particularly successful as Jacqueline in La cage aux folles , but could also be heard in works such as The Cunning Little Vixen and other works. In 1996 she was made an honorary member of the Vienna Volksoper.

From 1999 onwards, roles such as Queen Clementine in Jacques Offenbach's Bluebeard or Ruth in Arthur Sullivan's Die Piraten von Penzance were assigned significantly more than just the character subject , since both roles contain their own couplets and arias and require a demanding vocal line. She brought a particularly impressive acting performance to the side of the actor Ernst Stankovski as a chamber singer in Franz Winter's operetta collage If we think about it tomorrow ... at the Vienna Volksoper.

In recent years Martikke has been at the Vienna Volksoper as Adelaide in The Bird Trader , Anhilte in Die Csárdásfürstin , Princess Bozena in Countess Mariza , as Sister Sophie in The Sound of Music , as Peronella in Boccaccio , as Palmyra in The Opera Ball and Mrs To experience Pearce in My fair lady .
