Alois Pennarini in 1901

Pennarini ( pseudonym ), also Aloys Pennarini or Alois Pennarini , actually Louis Aloys Federler ( June 27, 1870 in Wiener Neudorf , Lower Austria - May 23, 1927 in Aussig ) was an Austrian opera singer ( tenor ) and theater manager and silent film actor .

Life

Even as a child, the son of an imperial Austrian court official had a great affinity for the theater. Hardly out of school he came to his uncle, an imperial forester, in Laxenburg , where he did not last long as a forestry assistant. The father now let him learn a trade and he came into a court saddler's shop , where he managed to be acquitted.

During this time he secretly visited choral societies, took the first singing lessons and aroused everyone's attention in clubs and at Kommersen with his voice (he wanted to be a singing comedian at first) , until he finally managed to enter the Vienna Conservatory, where he thanks to one Imperial scholarship was trained by singing teachers Josef Gänsbacher and Johannes Reß .

In autumn 1883 he made his debut as "Turridu" in Pressburg . From 1885 to 1886 he worked in Olmütz , from 1896 to 1897 in Elberfeld , from 1897 to 1898 he took part in the opera stage at the Theater an der Wien and came to Graz in 1898 . Here came a decisive change in his profession, because it was here that Pennarini, who until now had mostly worked in lyrical operas and only occasionally sang a heroic role, acted as a real heroic tenor . In 1900 he was committed to the Hamburg Opera for the subject of the first hero tenor.

He worked at the Court Opera in Berlin from 1900 to 1912 , interrupted by numerous guest tours. In 1904 he sang “Parsifal” on the tour of the Savage Opera Company in North America, against the express ban from Bayreuth.

Pennarini was singer and artistic director in Nuremberg from 1913 and also survived the beginning of the Weimar Republic, but in 1920 he was exposed to great criticism because of his selection of the program and poor audience numbers. Thereupon he gave up his directorship. However, he later took over the management of the Reichenberg City Theater. In the early 1920s he took part in some silent films as an actor.

He died on May 23, 1927, allegedly in Aussig .

He was married to the opera singer Ella Appelt .

His vote is preserved.
