Reading organized by the Freundeskreis Hannover by the author Barbara Schlüter in the Salle Nollet

Born in the capital of the Kingdom of Hanover , Georg Nollet received music and singing lessons from Karl Ludwig Fischer . After his debut in Mainz he sang in the opera houses in Schwerin , Leipzig and Pest . After an interlude at the Hanover Opera House , he performed at the Komische Oper in Vienna , and also in Italy as part of a tour with Etelka Gerster-Gardini .

At the Vienna Court Opera , Georg Nollet studied the role of Wolfram under the direction of Richard Wagner for his operas Tannhäuser and the role of Telramund for Wagner's Lohengrin .

After Nollet had already joined the Hanover Art Association in 1870 , he finally returned to Hanover in 1876, where he represented the baritone singer until 1894. As a "great singer personality" and "very respected and popular singer" Nollet celebrated successes above all

in the title role of Don Giovanni by Mozart ,
as Dutchman in The Flying Dutchman and as Wotan in the Ring of the Nibelung by Richard Wagner,
as Figaro in The Barber of Seville by Gioachino Rossini ,
as slave Nelusco in L'Africaine by Giacomo Meyerbeer ,
in the title role of Hans Heiling by Heinrich Marschner .

Queen Marie of Hanover is said to have furnished the baritone singer in the Nolletzimmer named after him in a building on the corner of Hanover's Langensalzastrasse . The room opposite the New Town Hall of Hanover is used by today's Hotel Mercure for festivities.

Georg Nollet's career ended due to a nervous problem.
