Rupert Glawitsch
2 Dezember 1907 Ljubljana – 16 April 1981 Hamburg
I'm not 100 percent sure that he was a German speaker.
In the Austro-Hungarian Empire, there were of course also German speakers in Ljubljana, where he was born. But his family name
is a quite common Slovenian name (spelled Glavič there). On the other hand, his German diction seems faultlessly Austrian, so
he is filed as a German speaker.
He was an electrical engineer before studying voice. For a few years, he sang on stage: in Jablonec/Gablonz, in Hamburg and in Bremerhaven.
From 1939, he was a radio tenor in Hamburg, singing everything from opera to pop songs. He was particularly successful in operetta.
