Dermota, Anton

Performer

Kammersänger Anton Dermota (June 4, 1910 – June 22, 1989) was a Slovene tenor. Anton Dermota sang as a tenor as Alfred in Die Fledermaus in the 1950 London Gramophone recording LLP 305. Dermota was best known for his Mozart roles - especially his Don Ottavio in Don Giovanni. But he sang a good deal of the lyric tenorrepertory during his career, including more modern parts, such as Oedipus in Igor Stravinsky's Oedipus rex, the title role of Hans Pfitzner'sPalestrina and Flamand in Richard Strauss's Capriccio. Later in life he ventured into heldentenor territory, essaying parts such as the title role in Bedřich Smetana's Dalibor and Florestan. All told, his repertoire included some 80 roles.  [source from Wikipedia]
