In 1882 Richard Wagner selected her as the original Kundry in Parsifal.
From that time on till her retirement in 1903, she remained a member of the Dresden Opera, with frequent leaves of absence for appearances in the principal European opera houses such as the Semperoper [contradiction: this is the same as the Dresden Opera]
Her repertory included many the great mainstream operas, but she was pre-eminent as an interpreter of Wagner's heroines.
