Edda Moser (born 27 October 1938) is a German coloratura soprano. She was particularly well known for her interpretations of music by Mozart. Her 1973 recital LP ' received the Grand Prix du Disque. ==Career== Moser was born in Berlin, the daughter of the musicologist Hans Joachim Moser. She studied there at the Stern Conservatory with Hermann Weissenborn and Gerty König and made her debut as Kate Pinkerton in ''Madama Butterfly'' at the Deutsche Oper Berlin in 1962. After singing in the Wurzburg Opera Chorus from 1962 until 1963, she sang at the opera houses in Hagen, Bielefeld, Hamburg and Frankfurt, before joining the Vienna State Opera in 1971. She also sang in Salzburg.〔(Edda Moser ) at www.bach-cantatas.com〕 She made her American debut in November 1968, when she appeared at the Metropolitan Opera in the role of Wellgunde in ''Das Rheingold''. She went on to sing various roles there over nine seasons, including the parts of Donna Anna (''Don Giovanni'') and the Queen of the Night (''The Magic Flute''), as well as Liù in Puccini's ''Turandot''. She maintained an extensive repertoire, singing both dramatic coloratura and lirico spinto roles. She played Donna Anna in Joseph Losey's movie ''Don Giovanni''. She was one of the original performers of Hans Werner Henze's oratorio ''Das Floß der Medusa'' which she created on disc because the intended premiere in Hamburg was cancelled after a classical music riot. ''Opera News'' has said in a review of a series of recordings made in the 1980s that Moser could sing with a "finely controlled" legato." After retiring from opera, Moser remained active as a recitalist during the late 1990s. She gave several concerts in Germany with Ivan Törzs at the piano (Dresden, Semperoper 1997, 1999) with programs ranging from Johann Adolph Hasse to Clara Schumann and Richard Strauss. She gave her farewell performance in Munich in 1999 at the Cuvilliés Theatre. Edda Moser is involved in promoting the use of proper German instead of Denglisch. In 2006 she founded the yearly (Festival of German language). Three CDs documenting this festival have appeared thus far at the German publishing house Bastei Lübbe. She is also a professor of singing at the Hochschule für Musik in Cologne. A recording by Moser of "Der Hölle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen" from ''The Magic Flute'' was included on Voyager 1's Golden Record.〔(Music on the Golden Record. ) NASA JPL.
