EDUARD ERHARD (VIENNA, AUSTRIA 1879 – STARNBERGER, GERMANY ?)
Initially active as an actor, he later pursued vocal studies at the Vienna Music Academy. He perfected his vocal technique under Giovanni Scarneo in Berlin. His operatic debut likely occurred during the 1903–1904 season at the Stadttheater in Nürnberg.
His repertoire included notable roles such as Wolfram in Tannhäuser, Count di Luna in Il Trovatore, Germont in La Traviata, Silvio in Pagliacci, and Papageno in Die Zauberflöte. In 1908, at the Stadttheater in Hamburg, he appeared in the premiere of Siegfried Wagner’s opera Sternengebot.
Later in his career, he became a respected pedagogue and professor in Karlsruhe, where he taught many students, including the soprano Clara Ebers. He was married to the soprano Josefine Sedlmayer. In his later years, he resided in Starnberger.
He also left behind a recorded legacy, making records for labels such as Gramophone, Beka, and Parlophon.
