JEAN (IWAN) IWANZOFF (RUSSIA, 1880 - ?)


 

 

He studied singing in St. Petersburg under N. Spasski, who trained him as a bass, and also took vocal lessons from R. Nuvel-Nordi. From 1912 to 1916, he sang at the St. Petersburg Musical Drama and the National House (1913–18), with additional appearances in Moscow. In 1919, Iwanzoff moved to Germany and made guest appearances in Paris (Grand Opera, 1921), Berlin, Madrid, Barcelona (1921, 1922), various Italian cities, Washington, D.C., and New York. In the 1930s, Iwanzoff lived in the USA, where he began to achieve success as a tenor in The Queen of Spades by P. Tchaikovsky and other operas.
