Elsa Alsen (1880-1975) was a German opera star who relocated permanently to the United States in 1928. She was a soprano, and best-known for her performances in Wagner.
During a trip to Hollywood, where she sang at the Hollywood Bowl, Alsen played Lawrence Tibbett’s mother in The Rogue Song. Ironically, she does not appear to have sung a note in the film.
