 Elisabeth of Bavaria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Elisabeth Amalie Eugenie, Duchess in Bavaria and Princess of Bavaria (December 24, 1837 – September 10, 1898), of the House of Wittelsbach, was the Empress consort of Austria and Queen consort of Hungary due to her marriage to Emperor Franz Joseph.
Elisabeth was denied any major influence on her own children's upbringing, however — they were raised by her mother-in-law Sophie, and soon after Rudolf's birth the marriage started to deteriorate, undone by Franz Josef's infidelities and Elisabeth's increasingly erratic behavior (her family, the Wittelsbachs, had a history of mental instability).
While Elisabeth's role in, and influence on, Austro-Hungarian politics should not be overestimated (she is only marginally mentioned in scholarly books on Austrian history), Elisabeth, particularly during the second half of the 20th century, has undoubtedly become an icon now often compared to Diana, Princess of Wales.

 Elisabeth
Elisabeth's Totenklage normally might not rate a mention in and of itself, being a relatively minor song, but Douwes's performance is worth noting.
Now, however, nearly fifty years later, things have changed; Elisabeth tells him that it's time they admitted that they could never be happy together, because their goals were too different and she couldn't be the person he needed her to be.
I first got a copy because Pia Douwes, my favourite Fantine, plays Elisabeth, but it didn't take long for me to fall in love with the show and her costars (especially Ethan Freeman and, of course, Uwe Kröger, although there's no one on this recording I don't like) as well.
