Julius Lindemann (singer)
Julius Lindemann (born January 22, 1822 Seyda ; † March 3, 1886 in Kassel ) was a German opera singer.
Life
As the son of a Protestant pastor, Lindemann first studied Protestant theology at the Friedrichs University in Halle . He became active in the Corps Borussia Halle in 1843 and distinguished himself on all three batches . After he had already largely completed his theological training, he decided to train his bass voice . He became a student of Eduard Böhme in Leipzig. Richard Wagner , at that time court conductor at the Dresden Opera , offered him an engagement at this house. So he made his stage debut there in May 1847 as a speaker in The Magic Flute . He went to the Hamburg City Theater in 1849 and belonged to the ensemble of this house until 1855. In Hamburg he took part in several premieres of contemporary operas: 1850 as Zacharias in Der Prophet von Meyerbeer, 1853 as Landgrave in Tannhäuser and the Sängerkrieg on Wartburg , in 1855 as King Heinrich in Lohengrin . His daughter Elisabeth Telle-Lindemann (1854–1914) was born in Hamburg . Initially tutored by him, she became a well-known mezzo-soprano. In 1855 he sang again for one season at the Dresden Opera, but then accepted the call to the Munich Court Opera . As their member from 1856 to 1862, he had a very successful career there. In Munich he sang roles like Kaspar in Freischütz , Jacob in Joseph by Étienne-Nicolas Méhul , Mephisto in Faust , and Mikhéli in Der Wasserträger ( Les deux journées ) by Luigi Cherubini . In 1858 he took part in the premiere of Lohengrin there as King Heinrich. In 1863 he accepted an engagement at the court theater in Kassel , where he stayed until his retirement in 1883. Of his roles for the stage, Marcel in Giacomo Meyerbeer's Les Huguenots , Bertram in Robert le diable , Sarastro in the Magic Flute and the Leporello in Don Giovanni should be emphasized. He later worked as a teacher in Kassel. He died at the age of 64.
