Famous German soprano Eva von der Osten was the daughter of the actors Emil von der Osten (1847-1905) and Rosa von der Osten-Hildebrandt (1850-1911). She debuted in 1902 at the Hofoper in Dresden as Page Urbain in Meyerbeer's "Hugenotten". Until the end of her career she was engaged at the Hofoper. In 1911 she married the singer Friedrich Plaschke, but the marriage ended in a divorce. On January 26th, 1911 she was the first Octavian at the premiere of Richard Strauss' "Der Rosenkavalier". She performed the same part in The Hague (1911) and London (1913). She frequently made guest appearances at the Komischen Oper in Berlin and also gave guest performances in Brussels, Paris, London and Boston. In 1923 she toured in the USA with the German Opera Company as Isolde in "Tristan und Isolde" and as Sieglinde in "Die Walküre". In 1930 she left the stage as an actress, but she continued working as a director at the Staatsoper in Dresden. In 1933 she directed the premiere of "Arabella" by Richard Strauss. Shortly afterwards she suffered a stroke that damaged her health permanently. She was buried at the Johannisfriedhof in Dresden.
