Peter Schreier dies

[sydneyboy]

The death occurred on Christmas Day of the great German tenor Peter Schreier. A lyric tenor who appeared in Opera and lieder. He was a regular in the leading German opera houses as well as Vienna, the Salzburg Festival (where he appeared for 25 consecutive years), the Metropolitan and other major venues. I heard him in Sydney in a lieder recital in the mid 1990’s. A distinguished artist.
