Franz Innozenz Nachbaur (born March 25, 1830 at Gießen Castle near today's Kressbronn on Lake Constance , † March 21, 1902 in Munich) was a German opera singer (tenor) and court chamber singer.

Life

Innozenz Nachbaur was born on March 25, 1830 as the son of the farmer Fidel Nachbaur and his wife Genoveva, nee. Götz was born in the high medieval castle of Gießen in Argental near today's Kressbronn on Lake Constance in Baden-Württemberg. He only adopted the name Franz later.

Nachbaur sang in the choir of his village church in Laimnau at the age of eight. From 1854 Nachbaur attended the building trade school in Stuttgart. During this time he wanted to become a chorister at the Stuttgart Hofbühne and therefore allowed himself to be tested by the then director of the Hofbühne, Pischek, but his voice and talent were discussed. Nachbaur returned to his home farm and worked there and in the surrounding area as a craftsman. He came via Tettnang , Basel and Paris , financially supported by the banker Alfons Passavant, to join the singing teacher Lamperti in Milan .

During his time in Prague , Nachbaur married the merchant's daughter Maria Pulina Albina Löbl, with whom he had four children.

Franz Innozenz Nachbaur died in 1903 as a result of a burst head vein. He is buried in the north cemetery in Munich .

His son was the actor and director Franz Nachbaur (1873-1926), one of his grandsons the diplomat and resistance fighter Eduard Brücklmeier (1903-1944).

Professional activity

After two years of studies, Nachbaur took on engagements in Meiningen from 1859 , where he was accepted into the Freemason Lodge Charlotte zu den Drei Nelken , at the Court Theater in Hanover , at the Prague Theater under the direction of Franz Thomé , in Vienna and at the Grand Ducal Court Theater in Darmstadt . King Ludwig II of Bavaria heard the singer here and had him engaged for the Munich Court and National Theater. During the premiere of the Meistersinger von Nürnberg on June 21, 1868, Nachbaur sang the role of Walter von Stolzing and won over a jubilant audience by storm.

Nachbaur performed 700 times on the stage of the Munich court theater. He has lent his voice to all Wagner operas. In addition to Walter von Stolzing and Lohengrin (he is said to have sung it 127 times), Nachbaur also enjoyed the role of Postillon von Lonjumeau , with which he left the stage on October 13, 1891.

Franz Innozenz Nachbaur, Josef Kainz (1858–1910) and Emil Rohde (1839–1913) were the three Munich stage artists who had close personal relationships with King Ludwig II.
