ANKA HORVAT (KAŠTEL
NEAR ZLATAR, JUNE 21, 1884 – ZAGREB, JULY 10, 1948)
She was trained by the pedagogue Leonija Brückl in Zagreb and later
studied under Philipp Forstén in Vienna. She made her debut in 1904 at the
Croatian National Theatre in Zagreb as Carmen and remained there until 1914.
From 1914 to 1917, she was engaged as the first contralto at the Hofoper in
Dresden, where she sang the role of Kundry in the Dresden premiere of Parsifal in 1914. Among her notable
roles were Azucena in Il Trovatore,
Carmen, Charlotte in Werther,
Ulrica in Un ballo in maschera,
Amneris in Aida, and Brangäne
in Tristan und Isolde.
In 1918, she appeared as a guest at the Hofoper in Vienna. In 1920, she performed in Munich (Staatsoper), Berlin, and Leipzig. She later returned to her native country, continued to sing at the Croatian National Theatre in Zagreb, and gave concerts. After her marriage, she apparently also performed under the name Anka Horvat-Gottlieb.
