Franz Naval
Franz Naval , actually Franz Pogačnik (born October 20, 1865 in Ljubljana , Slovenia ; † August 9, 1939 in Vienna ) was an Austrian opera singer ( lyric tenor ).
Life
The lyric tenor first received his training in Laibach, but completed it with Josef Gänsbacher in Vienna. The singer made his debut in 1888 at the Stadttheater in Frankfurt am Main and sang at the Court Opera in Berlin from 1895 . In 1898 he received an engagement at the Vienna Court Opera , which he left again in 1902 as a result of a falling out with Gustav Mahler . He said goodbye to the Viennese audience as Richard in the Masked Ball (1902) or in a farewell concert at the Musikverein.
This was followed by a season at the Metropolitan Opera in New York in 1903/04 and then a renewed engagement in Berlin at the Court Opera and, from 1908, the Komische Oper.
Franz Naval was also an important lieder singer in his time. After the end of his singing career, he lived as a singing teacher in Vienna.
His grave is on the Evangelical Cemetery Vienna-Simmering (IX, 1, 36).
