{ Anny (sometimes Anni) Konetzni (12 February 1902 – 6 September 1968) was an Austrian soprano. She was the sister of soprano Hilde Konetzni. Born in Vienna, Anny Konetzni was a pupil of Erik Schmedes in her hometown, making her debut in Chemnitz as a contralto in 1927. Soon she became a dramatic soprano, singing at the Berlin Staatsoper from 1931 until 1935 and at the Vienna State Opera from 1935 until 1954. She tackled all the heavier parts in the operas of Richard Wagner.
