The accomplished and elegant Berit Lindholm died yesterday, aged 88.

She made her Bayreuth debut in 1967 as Venus in Tannhäuser and sang Brünnhilde in the Wolfgang Wagner Ring production up to 1974. She also sang Brünnhilde at San Francisco in 1972.

She sang Chrysothemis at Covent Garden in 1966 (pictured), returning as Brünnhilde and Isolde.

 
Her family issued this statement: It is with great sadness that we announce that our beloved mother Berit Lindholm has passed away. She fell asleep this morning, August 12, 2023, at the age of 88 years. Warm thanks to all of you who have engaged in her fanpage. Warm greetings from her daughters Kristina and Eva
