Stewart, Thomas
Performer
Thomas Stewart (29 August 1928 – 24 September 2006) was an American bass-baritone who specialized in Wagnerian roles. Stewart made his Metropolitan Opera debut as Ford in Verdi's Falstaff in 1966. He returned to that house regularly until 1980; the Met database lists his last season there as 1993–94. Aside from the above, his best known roles included Iago in Otello and Count di Luna in Il trovatore (both by Verdi), and Tchaikovsky's Eugene Onegin. He sang the title roles in the American premieres of Hindemith's Cardillac (1967) at the Santa Fe Opera and Aribert Reimann's Lear (1981) with the San Francisco Opera. He received a medal from that company in 1985 for his 25 years of distinguished performance. [source from Wikipedia]
