A wonderful, elegant singer and a kind colleague. I worked with her in the 80’s at the Opera in Graz, she still sung some main roles (and I was vocal coach there). Generous, always helpful, far from any arrogant attitude.
I had the pleasure to work with Dorit in preparation for an operetta gala in Graz! What a wonderful human being and coach she was!
