Johanna Sophie Christiane Lowe (1815–1866) was a German opera soprano, active mainly in Vienna and Berlin. She was one of the most famous German opera singers of her time. Sophie Lowe was born 1815-03-24 in Oldenburg, daughter of the actor Ferdinand Lowe (1787–1832). From 1831, she studied in Vienna under Giuseppe Ciccimarra. 1832 she debuted at the Karntnertortheater. After a tour through northern Germany she got an engagement at the Berlin Court Opera in 1837. Her most prominent performances were as the title character in Gaetano Donizetti's Maria Padilla (Milan, 1841), as Elvira in Giuseppe Verdi's Ernani (Venice, 1844), and as Odabella in Verdi's Attila (Venice, 1846). She clashed with Verdi over Ernani, to the point where he left Venice without paying her a customary visit. However, her skills were such that, nonetheless, Verdi wrote a major role for her in Attila two years later and highly praised her performance in it.
