Lotte Lehmann: Photos in Misc. Roles

This page tries to bring together some of the roles not covered in the Rosenkavalier and Major Roles pages. Remember that Lehmann sang 93 roles, so these are only a sample of some of the “other” roles she sang.


Oehmann as Othello having smothered Desdeomana (LL)
As Tosca

Arabella Photos

Since Lehmann only performed the role of Arabella five times (all for the Vienna Opera), we have few photos, but they include a few from live performances.

From the April 1937 issue of Theatre Arts Monthly, this page shows Lehmann “live” during actual opera performances. Since no flash was used, the photos are blurry, but since there are so few of them, it’s still interesting to see Lehmann in action.

Photos from the London publication of Lehmann’s autobiography Wings of Song have been added to this site.
