| San Francisco Opera Marschallin History |
| Marschallin, The |
| 1978 |
| 1940 * Lotte Lehmann was on hand to sing her classic Marschallin. Her highly inflected and near-youthful interpretation of the Marschallin was, if not agreeable to all, on a very high plane of distinction. |
| * Bloomfield-50 Years of SFO/ 1922-1978 The San Francisco Opera. |
| 1946 * Lehmann returned in great form for the Marschallin, this was her last Marschallin and her last role in her career. |
| 1955 * The Marschallin was sung by Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, who made her American operatic debut on the Opera House stage. |
| 1971 * Sena Jurinac provided a gracious, good-humored, warmly-sung Marschallin. It was probably the most natural account of the role in SF modern times. |

| Soile Isokoski, Angelica Kirchschlager and Genia Kühmeier sing the final scene of Richard Strauss' Der Rosenkavalier. The conductor is Christian Thielemann.YouTube |
| Soile Isokoski, making her S.F. Opera debut, was a poised, lovely Marschallin. The Finnish soprano refrained from excess, blended beautifully in the ensembles, and painted the character's heartbreak in subtle, understated strokes./ 2007 Review |
| Isokoski's performance was detailed and full of emotional nuance -- never more touchingly than in the bittersweet reflection on the passage of time that concludes Act 1 -- and she brought an eloquent air of regret to the great final trio./ 2007 Review |
