Celebrated Salome dies, 99
mainThe celebrated Graz soprano Maria Kouba, one of the leading Salomes of her day, has died at a great age.
Married to a Czech conductor Stefan Kouba, she made her debut in Graz in 1957 by jumping in at the last moment as Salome, a role that became her trademark worldwide, from Vienna to the Met.
She lived for some years in Canada with her second husband, a Germann orchestral musician.
