Kunz, Erich (1909-1995)

Austrian bass-baritone. He studied in Vienna and made his debut in 1933 in Breslau. He sang in the Glyndebourne chorus in 1935, returning in 1948 as Guglielmo. He performed in Vienna from 1940; at the Salzburg Festival from 1942 (making his debut as Mozart's Figaro); at Bayreuth in 1943 as Beckmesser; at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden (where he made his house debut in 1947 as Leporello during a Vienna State Opera visit); and at the Metropolitan Opera House, New York (where he made his house debut in 1952 as Leporello). He was one of the finest buffo baritones of the day, Mozart's Figaro and Papageno being among his most famous roles.
