Helena Tattermuschová

Helena Tattermuschová (28 January 1933 – 6 July 2025) was a Czech lyric coloratura soprano who made an international career. Based at the Prague National Theatre from 1956 to 1991, she appeared chiefly in Mozart roles and Czech operas, such as the title role of Janáček's The Cunning Little Vixen, Terinka in Dvořák's The Jacobin, and Blaženka in Smetana's The Secret.

Early life Tattermuschová was born in Prague on 28 January 1933. Tattermuschová's distinctively girlish vocal quality led to roles in Mozart's operas such as Papagena in Die Zauberflöte, Zerlina in Don Giovanni and Susanna in Le nozze di Figaro. She also appeared in the coloratura roles of Rosina in Rossini's Il barbiere di Siviglia and Gilda in Verdi's Rigoletto.
