Sucher was born in
Velburg. Her debut occurred in Munich in 1871 as Waltraute in
Die Walküre and engagements followed in Berlin and Leipzig. She married Josef Sucher (1844–1908), a well-known conductor and composer in 1876, when he was conductor at the
Leipzig city theatre. Frau Sucher soon became famous for her interpretations of
Wagner's operatic roles, with her seasons in
London in 1882 and 1892 proving her great capacity both as singer and actress. In 1886 and 1888, she sang at Germany's
Bayreuth, and in later years she was principally associated with the opera stage in
Berlin, retiring in 1903. She died at
Eschweiler. Her rendering of the part of
Isolde in
Wagner's opera was especially acclaimed. Her other roles included Agathe,
Euryanthe, Elsa, Eva, Brünnhilde, Kundry, and Desdemona in
Otello. Unfortunately, she left no gramophone recordings of her singing. ==Sources==
