Marilyn Zschau

American Operatic Soprano

Marilyn Zschau, also known as Marilyn Zschau Baars, is an American operatic soprano who had a significant career in opera from the 1970s through the 1990s. She is not primarily known for producing albums but rather for her live performances in opera houses around the world. Zschau was particularly noted for her interpretations of roles in the dramatic soprano repertoire, including works by Puccini, Verdi, and Wagner. She performed at prestigious venues such as the Metropolitan Opera in New York, La Scala in Milan, and the Sydney Opera House. Her portrayal of characters like Turandot in Puccini's opera of the same name and Lady Macbeth in Verdi's "Macbeth" garnered acclaim. While she may have recordings of her performances, including possibly "La Bohème," her career is more defined by her stage presence and vocal prowess than by studio-produced albums.
