Irene Eisinger

The vivacious Irene Eisinger (1903-1994) was born in Kosel, Silesia, Austria. She studied in Vienna before making her début in Basel in 1926. She joined the Vienna State Opera in 1930 and also appeared at the Salzburg Festival between 1930 and 1933. Forced to leave Germany, she sang at the German Opera in Prague during the 1933-34 season. She appeared at Glyndebourne between 1934 and 1939 and again in Edinburgh with the company in 1949. Her rôles included Despina, Papagena in Die Zauberflöte, Blondchen in Die Entführung aus dem Serail and Susanna in Le nozze di Figaro. Additionally, she sang the rôle of Polly in the 1940 London production of The Beggar’s Opera. Eisinger was a fine coloratura soprano and an excellent soubrette, as was witnessed by her Gretel, and Adele in Die Fledermaus (both sung in English) during the 1936 Winter Season at Covent Garden. From 1938 onwards she lived in London.
