She also studied in Berlin with Georg Vogel (singing) and Emanuel Reicher (acting). She sometimes used her married name Ottilie Metzger-Froitzheim professionally, In 1910 she married the baritone Theodor Lattermann (1880-1926),

Metzger was the leading resident contralto at the Hamburg State Opera (HSO) from 1903-1915.

In 1933, the American theatre impresario George Blumental (a former associate of Oscar Hammerstein I, who in 1917 had tried to set up theatres for American troops in Paris), tried to arrange with Georg Hartmann and Arthur Hirsch to bring over conductor Blech and a troupe of 12 Jewish opera singers to present Wagner's Ring in New York. Hirsch's assistant, Otto Metzger, was Ottilie's brother and Ottilie was on the list. Blumental's plans came to nothing, partly due to the unavailability of Blech, Klemperer, and Walter.

Metzger and her daughter, Susanne Lattermann, fled to Brussels in 1939.
