Alžběta Anna Tvrdková was born in Kamenice nad Lipou,[1] the daughter of Václav Tvrdek. She studied voice with Mathilde Mallinger at the Prague Conservatory, with further studies in Berlin.[2]

In 1901, she sang a small part in the premiere of Dvořák's Rusalka.[3] From 1901 to 1913, she sang under the name "Ella Tordek" with the Munich Court Opera, and a regular performer at Munich's Wagner and Mozart festivals.[4][5] In 1913, she created the role of Rosaura in the original cast of Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari's opera Le donne curiose, in Milan.[2]

Tordek made recordings, including a duet with Luise Hofer, singing Berlioz's "Nuit paisible et sereine", from Béatrice et Bénédict, and a duet with Friedrich Brodersen, singing Mozart's "Reich mir die Hand", from Don Giovanni.[6]
