BELGIAN TENOR ERNEST VAN DYCK (1861-1923) CDR

 

ERNEST VAN DYCK (ANTWERP, 2 APRIL, 1861 – BERLAAR, 3 AUGUST, 1923)

 

 

 

 

For a short time he studied law and worked as a journalist before beginning singing lessons with, among others, the composers Chabrier and Massenet, an association that led to his creation of Massenet’s Werther in 1892. His first appearance in Bayreuth was in 1888 as Parsifal. Although he did not have the most beautiful voice, his intelligence and the ability to learn roles on short notice were a godsend to opera house managements.
