German soprano.

Marie Schoder took vocal studies at the Grand Ducal Music School in Weimar in the 1880s. She was a member of the Weimar Court Opera between 1891 and 1900. In 1899 she married the conductor of the Weimar Court Theater, Gustav Gutheil. In 1900 she was invited by Gustav Mahler to join the Vienna Court Opera, and continued to work there until 1927. After retirement from singing, she pursued a teaching career in Vienna and at the Salzburg Mozarteum.

In addition to singing leading roles in operas such as Carmen, Faust, and Mignon, and also in operas by Mozart, she pioneered roles in contemporary operas such as Salome, Elektra, Der Rosenkavalier (Oktavian), and Die Frau ohne Schatten by Richard Strauss, with whom she studied these roles. She also sang the soprano part in the third and fourth movements ("Litanei" and "Entrückung") of Schoenberg's Second String Quartet, Op. 10 (December 1908) at its first performance with the Rosé Quartet, and also at the première of the latter's monodrama Erwartung (1909) in Prague in June 1924.
