Heinrich Gottinger
Heinrich Gottinger ( April 30, 1860 in Niederpöring - 1929 in Munich ) was a German opera singer , director , theater actor and director .
Life
Gottinger, the son of a senior teacher, was destined to be a teacher, but at the suggestion of the owner of the latest Münchner Nachrichten ( Julius Knorr ) gave up his profession and took his first singing lessons from Hans Hasselbeck , studied composition theory and counterpoint with Vincenz Lachner , received dramatic lessons from Hermann von Schmied , perfected his singing studies with Marie Wilt and then turned to the stage career as a singer. After he made his debut in Graz in 1882 as “Ottokar” (he had already performed on small stages), he took on engagements in Ollmütz (inaugural role “Telramund”), Würzburg in 1884 (inaugural role “Figaro”), Bremen (inaugural role “Kirchhofer ") And Aachen, and joined the Association of the Graz Stage in 1888 (inaugural role" Hans Heiling "). There he worked for twelve years, six years as the first hero baritone and six years as director of this stage. In 1900 Gottinger took over the management of the combined theaters of Düsseldorf-Duisburg, but was still extremely successful as a singer. He knows how to handle his throat masterfully so that he can go all the harder when the time is right. His rare vocal brilliance and the particularly sympathetic effect of the dark coloring of his organ were praised. Gottinger, who has also made merits as an opera director, is definitely one of the pillars of his ensemble. Of his outstanding achievements his names are mentioned: "Amonasra" ( Aida ) , "Zar", "Valentin", "Barbier", "Almaviva", "Tell", "Wolfram", "Alberich", "Vampyr", "Graf v . Eberbach "etc.
In 1902 he gave up theater management and then worked as a professor at the Vienna Conservatory.
