Herbert Handt

Herbert Handt (26 May 1926) is an American operatic tenor and later conductor, particularly known for his conducting and critical editions of rarely performed Italian scores. Handt was born in Philadelphia and studied at the Juilliard School of Music and the Vienna Academy of Music. He made his debut as a singer at the Vienna State Opera in 1949 and his debut as a conductor in Rome in 1960.[1]

Roles created

In his career as a tenor, Handt created roles in three 20th century operas:[2]

gollark: The more people complain (if they do), the more it'll be the first!
gollark: It's a self-perpetuating cycle.
gollark: I'm sure people looking at Site Discussion will look, see a new fansite thread showing up, and then read it and possibly complain, but it doesn't matter much.
gollark: It's unlikely to get enough views for serious testing. Besides, I frequent S/R, I'm used to it.
gollark: I expect loads of complaints when I release to forums though...
