Helen Olheim, a mezzo-soprano who sang with the Metropolitan Opera, died on Friday at the Beneva Nursing Pavilion in Sarasota, Fla. She was 87 years old. She died of natural causes, said her sister, Dorothy Dry of Berwick, Pa. Miss Olheim, whose name was Oelheim off the stage, was a member of the Metropolitan Opera from 1935 to 1944. Among her roles were Mercedes in "Carmen" and Siebel in "Faust." Miss Olheim was born in Buffalo and studied at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester.
