Richard Hagen
Richard Erwin Hagen ( August 18, 1843 in Rostock - January 17, 1905 there ) was a German theater actor and director as well as opera and operetta singer (tenor).
Life
Hagen, son of the music director Ludwig Hagen, was trained as a businessman. In 1867, however, he went to the stage out of an insurmountable inclination after receiving the necessary training from singing teacher Hilmer in Berlin. He began his theater career in Kiel, then went to Cologne, Magdeburg, Düsseldorf, Strasbourg, and the Wilhelmstädtische Theater in Berlin, Basel, Bremen, Posen and Zurich. He was active both as a tenor buffo and as an operetta tenor. In 1886 he took over the Tivolitheater in Lübeck, in 1887 the city theater in Koblenz, which he directed for eight years. From 1896 he was director of the Rostock City Theater. On the occasion of his 25th anniversary as an artist, he performed for the last time in Koblenz in 1900.
