Else Gentner-Fischer (5 September 1883 – 26 April 1943) was a German operatic soprano.
Although she appeared in operas internationally, her career was mainly centered at the Oper Frankfurt where she was a resident artist from 1907-1935.
She excelled in the dramatic soprano repertoire, drawing particular acclaim for her portrayal of Wagnerian heroines.
She was also an exponent of the works of contemporary composers.
Her career was cut short in 1935 due to political pressures and prejudice exerted against her for being married to a Jewish man.
She made recordings with Gramophone & Typewriter Ltd., His Master's Voice, and Polydor Records.
