Dorothy Jane Larsen (1911–1990) was an American-born Danish operatic soprano. She made her début in Copenhagen's Royal Danish Theatre as Fricka in Die Walküre in 1937 and remained with the company until 1960. Appearing in a wide variety of roles, she went on to develop her Wagnerian talents as Elisabeth in Tannhäuser and Elsa in Lohengrin but was also particularly admired as Tosca. In 1949, she was honoured by King Frederik IX as a Royal Chamber Singer. She performed as a guest in Dresden and Vienna.[1][2][3]
