Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, eine der herausragenden lyrischen Sopranistinnen des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts, ist im Alter von 90 Jahren gestorben. Sie starb nach Angaben des Bestattungsinstituts Marent Peter im österreichischen Schruns in der Nacht zum Donnerstag.
Die aus Jarotschin bei Posen stammende Sängerin hatte 1938 in Berlin debütiert und vier Jahrzehnte lang an allen großen Opernhäusern der Welt gesungen. Sie galt als eine der größten Sopranistinnen ihrer Epoche, neben Maria Callas und Victoria de los Angeles. 1972 beendete sie ihre Bühnenkarriere, 1979 gab sie ihren letzten Liederabend in Zürich.
