Was an Australian operatic soprano renowned for her interpretation of Wagnerian roles, although she never appeared at Bayreuth.She was born Florence Mary Wilson, but adopted the professional surname Austral in 1921 in honour of her homeland Australia.[2]. She was considered to have few equals in sheer vocal quality until the arrival of Kirsten Flagstad. Acting was not her strong point and her characterisations were mainly achieved with the voice, which made her recordings so enjoyable. She and Frida Leider were considered to be the great Wagnerian dramatic sopranos of their era, together with Flagstad, who rose to international fame in the 1930s. (Among their post-War successors, only Birgit Nilsson and, to a lesser extent, Astrid Varnay, have been in their exalted league.)
