Lot 2015 | Frida Leider (1888 - 1975) - eigenhändiger Brief der Wagner-Sopranistin an Adolf Hitler 1937
Estimate value
€ 200
Doppelbogen Briefpapier (20,5 x 16,3 cm) mit erhabenen Initialen "F.L." in Blau, die erste und dritte Seite eigenhändig beschrieben, datiert "Charlottenburg, 27.8.1937". Leider bedankt sich für "Ihren herrlichen Blumengruss" und versichert Hitler, "daß besonders Ihre Wertschätzung die Krönung meiner künstlerischen Arbeit bedeutet und zugleich der schönste Ausklang der Bayreuther Festspiele für mich war.", signiert "In treue und Ergebenheit Ihre Frida Leider". Gefaltet, die Rückseite leicht fleckig. Frida Leider gilt als eine der bedeutendsten Sopranistinnen und Wagner-Interpretinnen der 1920/30er Jahre und war von 1928 bis 1938 auf den Bayreuther Festspielen vertreten. Ihr widersprüchliches Verhalten, einerseits lehnte sie ab 1933 eine Scheidung von ihrem jüdischen Ehemann, dem Konzertmeister der Berliner Staatsoper, Prof. Rudolf Deman, ab, andererseits ließ sie sich von der NS-Prominenz in Bayreuth feiern, sorgte für viel Kritik im Ausland. Nach der Flucht ihres Mannes 1938 in die Schweiz verblieb sie in Deutschland, ließ sich scheiden und trat noch bis 1942 auf Opernbühnen auf. Zustand: II
