Fritz Soot (1878-1965) was a German Heldentenor whose lengthy career was largely confined to Central Europe. Born in Neunkirchen, Soot made his stage debut at age 11 as Ludwig in a production of Liszt’s Die Legende von der Heiligen Elisabeth in Karlsruhe under Felix Mottl. Encouraged to pursue a theatrical career, he began working as an actor at the Court Theatre in Karlsruhe in 1901. During his years with the company, Soot studied voice, hoping to cultivate a singing career. His chance came in 1908 at the relatively late age of 30, when he made his debut with the Dresden Hofoper as Tonio in Donizetti’s Daughter of the Regiment. Soot’s star rose rather quickly and he appeared as the servant in the world premiere of Strauss’ Elektra in Dresden in 1909. Another Strauss premiereDer Rosenkavalieroccurred two years later, with Soot creating the role of the Italian Singer. Soot’s repertoire was rapidly expanding and it was around this time that the tenor was bestowed with the title of Kammersänger. Offenbach Hoffmanns Erzählungen![]() Soot’s career was in full swing when war broke out in Europe. The tenor enlisted in the German army and served as an intelligence officer until the war’s end in 1918. Despite the interruption to his career, Soot picked up where he had left off, joining the company of the Stuttgart Landestheater. Now 40 years old, the tenor began to adopt heavier roles, including such Wagnerian parts as Walther in Die Meistersinger, Siegmund in Die Walküre, Loge in Das Rheingold, both Siegfrieds (Götterdämmerung and Siegfried), Erik in Der Fliegende Holländer, and the title roles in Lohengrin, Parsifal, Tannhäuser and Tristan und Isolde. In 1922, Soot left Stuttgart to accept a contract with the Berlin Staatsoper. The busy artist also made guest appearances with Vienna Staatsoper, London’s Covent Garden and the Waldoper in Sopot, Poland (a.k.a “The Bayreuth of the North”). ![]() Finde 20 Ähnliche Filme zum Film Les Contes d'Hoffmann (Pathé Live) von Bartlett Sher mit Hibla Gerzmava, Kate Lindsey, wie La Traviata,Giselle,Anna Bolena (Pathé.
