Hilde Güden was an Austrian operatic soprano who began her professional career in the 1930s and established herself in repertoire associated with lyric and soubrette roles across opera houses in Austria and Germany. Her bright, agile voice and clear diction suited repertoire from Mozart and Richard Strauss to light lyric parts, and over the mid-20th century she balanced stage engagements with concert and recording work, contributing to European opera performance practices of the period.
