THE OPERA SINGER
Introduction | Opinions

INTRODUCTION:
America knows only half my personality, said Fischer-Dieskau in an interview
with Opera News in 1961. He was referring to his work as an opera singer,
and unfortunately his statement remained true until the end of his performing
career and beyond. While interested parties in the UK had at least a few opportunities
to hear him live in opera — as Mandryka and Falstaff at Covent Garden and as
Count Almaviva in Edinburgh — Fischer-Dieskau's opera singing in North America
was confined to a few concert appearances, principally as Orfeo and as Doktor
Faust, both at Carnegie Hall in the 1960s.
As a result, many people outside continental Europe think of Fischer-Dieskau
and opera only in terms of recordings, and of those who are aware that he had
a busy opera career in Germany, few had the opportunity to experience him live
in that medium. In the past few years, videos of Fischer-Dieskau as Count Almaviva
in Ponnelle's film of Le Nozze di Figaro and as Orest in Goetz Friedrich's
filmed Elektra have provided a limited view of what he was like as an
opera singer. Considering how well-documented Fischer-Dieskau's career is in
every other way, the lack of filmed documentation of his opera performances
is surprising. Consequently, private videos of Fischer-Dieskau in Don Giovanni,
Falstaff, Arabella, Reimann's Lear and as Marcel in Il
Tabarro have been passed from one opera fan to another.
Although it may be unfamiliar to us, Fischer-Dieskau's active opera performing
career spanned from 1948 to 1983 and was centered mainly at the Deutsche Oper
in Berlin and at the Bayerische Staatsoper in Munich. He sang regularly at the
summer festivals in Bayreuth and Salzburg; had guest engagements in Vienna,
London and Hamburg; and appeared in opera with the Deutsche Oper Berlin on its
early visits to Japan. For most of his career, Fischer-Dieskau divided his time
fairly equally between opera and concerts, and he sang a great variety of opera
roles on the stage. His opera career began at a time when specialization was
not the rule. Thus he sang Verdi and Puccini roles as readily as Mozart, Strauss
and Wagner, and sang in many contemporary operas as well, including leading
roles in Henze's Elegy for Young Lovers and Reimann's Lear. He
recorded many of his stage roles and a variety of others that he never sang
on the stage, such as Wagner's Dutchman and Telramund in Lohengrin. Fischer-Dieskau's
efforts as an opera singer and a concert singer cannot be separated and compartmentalized.
Each influenced and enriched the other and helped him to become the unique artist
he is.

OPINIONS AND REACTIONS:
- In the title role [Lear] Fischer-Dieskau crowned his many exemplary interpretations
with an unforgettable portrayal of human misery and folly, rising to the
pure essence of suffering humanity. He sang his role with untiring energy
and poignancy, noble in style, forceful in projection, ravishingly phrased,
with tones piercing one's heart as they cried out man's infinite sorrow.
—Horst Koegler, Opera
- In the course of the long evening Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau's interpretation
of Hans Sachs gradually grew into an unforgettable experience, overshadowing
everything else . . . .Fischer-Dieskau, with this interpretation of Sachs,
has achieved both as singer and actor a perfection such as was previously
only equaled by Rudolf Bockelmann.
