About the author

Lilli Lehmann (1848–1929) was a German soprano known for her performances in Wagner and Mozart operas. Active on European opera stages from the late nineteenth to the early twentieth century, she earned a reputation among colleagues and audiences for her singing technique and character interpretation. Beyond the stage, Lehmann was devoted to setting down her experience in vocal pedagogy; she wrote How to Sing, a book discussing singing methods, vocal training, and artistic expression, which has become a frequently cited reference in vocal studies. Public information on her early life, teachers, and specific performance records is limited, so this introduction draws only on in-house facts and well-established general accounts, focusing on her singing achievements and the influence of her writings.
