Ida Salden

In a review from 1903, it was said, among other things: "The so talented young artist sang [...] with a warm cordiality [...] We are pleased to note that Miss Salden has proved herself so excellently as a youthful dramatic singer as well as a soubrette.

From 1911 to 1913, Salden worked in Berlin at the Deutsches Künstlertheater [de], where she sang as Maliella in Wolf-Ferrari's I gioielli della Madonna.

Salden sang Ortlinde in the Bayreuth festival in 1906, 1908 and 1909 in Wagner's Die Walküre; she also appeared there as the solo flower in Parsifal and in 1906 she was also the second squire in the same opera.

Among the roles in which she appeared were Pamina in Mozart's the Magic Flute, Elisabeth in Tannhäuser, Elsa in Lohengrin, Sieglinde in the Walküre, Gutrune in Götterdämmerung, Cio-Cio-San in Madama Butterfly, in Gounod's Faust, Martha in Tiefland and Blanchefleur in Wilhelm Kienzl's Der Kuhreigen.
