Berit Lindholm

Berit Maria Lindholm (née Jonsson; 18 October 1934 – 12 August 2023) was a Swedish dramatic soprano. She was first based at the Royal Swedish Opera and made an international career, performing at the Royal Opera House in London, the Bayreuth Festival and the Vienna State Opera, among many others. She is regarded as one of the greatest Wagner singers of her generation. She was in demand for a rather small repertoire of roles, especially Wagner's Brünnhilde and Isolde, and Chrysothemis by Richard Strauss. Looking "slender and athletic", she was also regarded as "an unusually convincing actor". In 1971, she appeared as Isolde at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow in a pioneering tour of the Vienna State Opera.
