 Kirsten Flagstad (1895-1962) ble født på Hamar og vokste opp i en svært musikalsk familie og viste tidlig talent. I 1935 debuterte hun på Metropolitan Opera House i New York i rollen som ”Sieglinde” i Wagners opera ”Die Walküre”. Før dagen var omme var Kirsten Flagstad berømt.
En stjerne var født!
Operasangerinnen Kirsten Flagstad ble kalt "Sangens dronning". Hun er regnet som den største Wagnersangerinnen verden har kjent. Hun har utført 600 romansekonserter, 250 orkesterkonserter, har sunget "Isolde" 183 ganger og "Brünnhilde" 77 ganger, men alle de andre operaer hun har gjort, kunne hun selv ikke tallfeste. I følge Howard Sanner, som har utarbeidet en Kirsten Flagstad diskografi, er vi dag kjent med ca. 1000 lydopptak, gjort av kommersielle plateselskap, av kringkastingsselskaper, egne privatopptak og piratopptak, og det kommer stadig nye spennende funn. |
Kirsten Flagstadmuseet ligger i "Strandstuen" som er hennes barndomshjem og Hamars eldste hus. Museet er viet verdensstjernens liv og karriere og har rekvisitter, fotografier, en utrolig lydsamling og iøynefallende kostymer fra hennes store roller over hele verden, bl.a på The Metropolitan Opera House i New York. Kirsten Flagstad ble i 1958 utnevnt til Den Norske Operas første sjef.

 Kirsten Flagstad was born in Strandstuen, Hamar, on the 12th of July 1895. She grew up in a very musical family, and her talent was evident from an early age. In 1935 she made her debut at The Metropolitan Opera House in New York as ”Sieglinde” in Wagner’s opera ”Die Walküre”. By the end of the matinee, Kirsten Flagstad had become famous. The Opera singer Kirsten Flagstad has been called "The queen of song". She has made 600 romantic concerts, 250 orchestral concerts, has done "Isolde" 183 times and "Brünnhilde" 77 times. She could not herself remember the large number of other operas she has made. If we include an unknown amount of pirate copies and till now unknown broadcast recording, we would come close to 1000 recordings of Kirsten Flagstad’s singing.
Kirsten Flagstad was regarded as the incarnation of Isolde in Wagner’s opera Tristan und Isolde, and two of the dresses she wore in that role, both in the USA and in many of the major European opera houses, are exhibited in the museum, along with costumes she wore as Eva in Die Meistersinger, Elizabeth in Tannhäuser and Kundry in Parsifal.
