The Norwegian opera singer Kirsten Målfrid Flagstad (July 12 1895 – December 7, 1962) was considered one of the greatest Wagnerian (dramatic) sopranos of the 20th century. A restrained and expressive stage performer, she was admired for her voice's sheer tonal beauty and consistency of line and tone.
