Later, as her voice darkened, she became a famous exponent of roles such as Clytemnestra in Elektra, Herodias in Salome, Kabanicha in Káťa Kabanová, and Kostelnicka in Jenůfa.
A superb singing-actress and highly versatile artist, Schlemm was equally at home in comic and dramatic roles. She was married to conductor Wolfgang Rennert.
