Poldi Gersa (13 September 1874 in Schwechat – after 1902) was an Austrian soprano and stage actress.

Life

[edit]

She began her stage training at the age of 17. Her teachers were Anna Schröder-Schalupka in Stettin, Albert Goldberg and Louise Ottomann in Dresden.[1]

Her first engagement was in Stettin (1891-1893), then she was in Leipzig and finally went from there to the Residenztheater in Dresden.

Both vocally and playfully she performed very creditably and is characterised by humour and a healthy, natural wit.
