Emy Freifrau von Stetten (6 April 1898 – 22 February 1980) was a German oratorio, opera and Lied soprano and music teacher at the Frankfurt University of Music and Performing Arts.

Life

Born in Königsberg, Emilie Brode was a daughter of Ellida Wittich and Max Brode,[1] the founder and conductor of the Königsberg Symphony Orchestra. Until her divorce in 1948, she was married [2] to the Austrian painter Norbert von Stetten. The marriage produced two daughters, Ellida (1919-2008) and Brigitte (b. 1920).[3]

During the National Socialist era, she was banned from performing as a "half-Jew", although she emphasised her own National Socialist sentiments and her husband's party membership, and was only given special permits to work as a music teacher. In Herbert Gerigk's and Theophil Stengel's Lexikon der Juden in der Musik her name already appeared in the first edition (1940).[4]
