From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Viorica Ursuleac (26 March 1894 - 22 October 1985) was a Romanian operatic soprano, the daughter of a Christian Orthodox archdeacon born in Cernauti.
She made her operatic debut in Zagreb (Agram), as Charlotte in Werther, in 1922. She was later married to the Austrian conductor Clemens Krauss, who directed many of her performances, which included premieres of four of Richard Strauss' operas: Arabella, Capriccio, Friedenstag and Der Liebe der Danae. The Kammersängerin gave her Farewell in 1953, in Wiesbaden, in Der Rosenkavalier.
