Paul Beinert

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Paul Beinert (born June 9, 1893 in Molsheim , Alsace , † 1962 in Bayreuth ) was a German opera singer ( tenor ).

Life

Beinert completed his training as a singer at the Munich Academy of Music under Felix Mottl , who was director of the then Royal Academy of Music until 1911 . He had his first stage engagement from 1922 to 1925 at the Stadttheater Plauen . He was then a member of the Leipzig Opera House until 1933 and during this time he played in works by Ernst Krenek , Kurt Weill and Max Ettinger, among others . For example, he was Max at the world premiere of Krenek's Jonny plays on in 1927 and in 1930 appeared on stage as Jim in Weill's Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny . From 1933 he went to the Stadttheater Freiburg im Breisgau for four years and then moved to the Berlin State Opera . During these years he played in many great operas, especially those by Richard Wagner . For example, he sang the title roles in Rienzi and in Tannhäuser , Erik in the Flying Dutchman and Parsifal in the work of the same name. He also appeared in operas by Verdi , Bizet , Eugen d'Albert and Hans Pfitzner .

He spent the Second World War with his family on the "Hühnerhof", a hunting farm in the Franconian Fichtel Mountains near Wunsiedel . In 1943/1944 he moved again to the Kiel City Theater . After the war, however, he did not take any new engagement, which was certainly also due to the fact that his family in the III. Reich belonged to the NSDAP elite around Rudolf Hess . Until his death in 1962 he lived with his wife Irmgard Pröhl - a sister of Ilse Heß and a close friend of Winifred Wagner - in his Bayreuth apartment. Typographer Wolfgang Beinert is a grandson .
