Emil Stammer
Emil Max Hugo Stammer ( June 15, 1858 in Potsdam - December 30, 1926 in Berlin ) was a German opera singer, theater and silent film actor .
Life
Stammer, son of a leather merchant, was to become a businessman at his father's request. However, since he was opposed to this request, he took singing lessons from the royal music director Theodor Hauptner and followed his advice to first train as an actor in 1876. As such, he worked at various city theaters for ten years, most recently in Riga, where he decided to move on to the opera.
The Stadttheater in Königsberg initially hired him as the second bass or baritone, but soon also gave him the first bass voice. After acclaimed performances in St. Petersburg and Berlin, the Royal Opera in Berlin hired him in 1890, to which he remained loyal until 1901.
In 1919 he finally came to film and starred in over 20 films.
