Acclaimed for her interpretations of Mozart's greatest works, Stich-Randall shuttled between the United States and Europe, where she spent most of her professional career singing in the world's great opera houses. She made her debut at the Metropolitan Opera in 1961 in Mozart's "Cosi fan tutte" and was a regular at the Salzburg Festival and the Vienna State Opera, where she performed on 355 separate occasions before retiring in 1972.
