The great Maria Jeritza, creator of Strauss's Ariadne and Empress, of Korngold's Marietta, and dedicatee of Strauss's last song, Malven, was born in Brno #OTD in 1887. So here is some rare footage - from her only film, Großfürstin Alexandra (1933) - of her singing Pace, pace, mio Dio from Verdi's La forza del destino, at the Vienna Staatsoper https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82n-0-8IGHU #Jeritza #Verdi #Strauss #Korngold
