HANS SCHLITZER (COLOGNE,
1869 – HAMBURG, 1945)
He probably made his debut in 1893 at the Municipal Theatre in Lübeck,
and sang during the 1894–96 seasons at the Municipal Theatre in Essen. He then
appeared as a guest during the 1896–98 seasons at the Municipal Theatre in
Zurich and in 1898–99 at the Opera House in Cologne. From 1899 to 1904, he was
a member of the Municipal Theatre in Strasbourg, followed by the 1905–06 season
at the Opera House of Leipzig, from 1906 to 1908 at the Municipal Theatre of
Hamburg, and in the 1908–09 season at the Municipal Theatre of Magdeburg.
He made guest appearances at the Court Operas of Munich, Stuttgart,
Karlsruhe, and Gotha, as well as at the Opera Houses of Frankfurt a. M.,
Wroclaw, and Riga, and at the Municipal Theatre of Bern, Switzerland.
At the beginning of his career, he sang lyric tenor roles such as
Lyonel in Flotow’s Martha,
Faust in Gounod’s Faust, and
Edgardo in Lucia di Lammermoor.
Later, he took on more dramatic parts including Don José in Carmen, Vasco da Gama in Meyerbeer’s L’Africaine, the title role in
Massenet’s Werther, Radamès in Aida, Tannhäuser, and Walther von
Stolzing in Die Meistersinger von
Nürnberg.
He later settled in Hamburg, where, after the First World War, he
worked as a pedagogue at the Bernuth Conservatory.
