The Empress [auto]
The Empress, a central character in the opera *Die Frau ohne Schatten* by Richard Strauss, is the daughter of Keikobad and wife to the Emperor. Her voice is that of a dramatic coloratura soprano, characterized by a high tessitura, agile coloratura passages, and a bright, penetrating timbre that conveys both ethereal delicacy and regal authority.
