Martha Moedl Autograph. b/w photo signed at front and reverse,1949.

The Autograph comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.

9,4 x 14,2 cm, very good condition. Martha Moedl (1912-2001, in Stuttgart) was a German soprano, and later a mezzo-soprano. She specialized in large dramatic roles such as Isolde, Bruennhilde, and particularly Kundry, and is considered, along with Astrid Varnay and Birgit Nilsson, one of the three major postwar Wagner sopranos. She was among the preeminent Wagner sopranos—and most compelling singing actresses—of the twentieth century.
