Astrid Varnay was a Swedish-born American dramatic soprano of Hungarian descent and one of the most extraordinary Wagnerian singers of the 20th century.

Her celebrated repertoire included Brünnhilde in Der Ring des Nibelungen, Isolde in Tristan und Isolde, and Ortrud in Lohengrin.

After establishing her reputation in the United States, she enjoyed an especially distinguished career in Germany, becoming a beloved figure at the Bayreuth Festival and in the great opera houses of Europe.

Astrid Varnay was admired not only for her vocal power but also for her extraordinary ability to embody complex, passionate characters. Her artistic legacy remains an essential chapter in the history of Wagnerian opera.

Antonino Votto
(October 30, 1896 – September 9, 1985)

was an Italian operatic conductor and vocal coach. Votto developed an extensive discography with the Teatro alla Scala in Milan during the 1950s, when EMI produced the bulk of its studio recordings featuring Maria Callas. Though Votto was a dependable conductor (and the teacher of Riccardo Muti), critics frequently faulted his recordings for their lack of emotional immediacy. This may have been an occupational hazard of working in the studio, as his live sets with Callas, including a Norma (December 1955, La Scala) and La sonnambula (1957, Cologne) are considered to be great performances. Among his pupils was the soprano Claudia Pinza Bozzolla.

Felix von Kraus
(October 3, 1870 - October 30, 1937)

was an Austrian dramatic bass. Born in Vienna, he received a doctorate in musicology from the University of Vienna in 1894; as a singer, however, he was mainly self-taught. He made his debut at Bayreuth as Hagen in Götterdämmerung in 1899 and was heard thereafter at numerous Bayreuth Festivals and at other opera houses throughout Europe; he specialized in the works of Richard Wagner. In 1908 he became the artistic director of the Munich Opera; that same year he became a professor at the Munich Conservatory. Among his students was the Swiss tenor and early music specialist Max Meili and heldentenor Karel Burian. In 1899 Kraus married the American contralto Adrienne Osborne, also a Wagnerian. He had a child called Max Kraus. He retired from the stage in 1927 and died in Munich in 1937.
