Thekla Catharina Charlotta Hofer née Falck (1852–1938) was a Swedish operatic soprano and later voice teacher.
In addition to performing in various theatres in Sweden, she was a highly applauded guest in Weimar, St Petersburg and Riga.
[1] Hofer made her début in 1879 at the Royal Swedish Opera as Rosina in The Barber of Seville, receiving an engagement for the following season.
She became a successful performer not only here but as a guest in Helsinki, in Gothenburg's Stora Teatern, Weimar's Hoftheater and St Petersburg's Imperial Mariinsky Theatre.
Among the celebrated singers who emerged from her school until she retired in 1923 were Signe Rappe, Karin Branzell, Ruth Althén, Irma Björck and the tenor Folke Andersson.
