    Information

    Content

    Elise Elizza (real name: Elisabeth Letztergroschen, b. 6 January 1870, Vienna; d. 3 June 1926, Vienna), soprano.
    Member of the Vienna Court Opera (Hofoper), 1895 – 1919
    "... if Elizza, the goose, is stupidly knocking things over and Slezak is careless, conducting an ensemble properly is just impossible." (Gustav Mahler to Bruno Walter, 1901). Mahler made this comment despite being convinced of the soprano’s abilities. She sang at the premiere of his Das klagende Lied (Song of Lamentation) in Vienna in 1901, and he also tried to get her to perform in the premiere of his 8th Symphony in Munich in 1910. The quote above, taken from a letter, shines a light on Mahler’s uncompromising artistic demands; demands he expected to be met regardless of personal inclinations. The standards he set himself were every bit as high.
