We regret to share news of the death of Ludmila Dvorakova, who died on Thursday in a fire at her home in Prague.

Ludmila sang leading roles in East Berlin, Bayreuth, Munich, Covent Garden and the Met in an international career that lasted from 1960 to 1985. Czech born, her Wagner arias were distinguished by exceptional serenity.

She was 92.
