"He first sang at Covent Garden in 1884, appearing as Telramund in Lohengrin, as the Dutchman and as Hans Sachs and returned in 1892 to sing Wotan (Die Walküre and Siegfried) in the Ring cycles conducted by Mahler. From 1883 to 1889, and again from 1893 until his death, he was engaged at the Vienna Hofoper, where he sang Iago in the first Vienna performance of Verdi's Otello (1888). He made his New York début at the Metropolitan in 1889 as the Dutchman, and during his two seasons there he sang 16 parts...His final appearance in Munich was at the Prinzregententheater as Hans Sachs on 11 August 1902, when the resonance of his magnificently warm and even voice was said to have been as powerful as at the beginning of his career, 30 years earlier."
