David Stockman
30 November 1879 Göteborg – 2 December 1951 Stockholm
1939, open air concert
In RA format
First a cabinet maker, he studied voice in 1900 in Wrocław/Breslau, Berlin and Stockholm,
and sang with an itinerant operetta company (Lindens operettsällskap) in 1900/01, and with a male quartet until 1906, touring
all over Europe.
In 1906, he made his opera debut at the Royal Opera Stockholm as Wilhelm Meister, and remained at that theater until retiring in
1942. Considered a Wagner specialist (he was Sweden's first Tristan in 1909), he sang a vast repertory nonetheless: Andrea
Chénier, German, Marouf, Gennaro (I gioielli della Madonna), Nicias (Thaïs), Riccardo, Alvaro, Faust, José,
Hoffmann, Radamès, Eisenstein, Lohengrin, Stolzing, Fernand, Roméo... all in all, about 100 roles. He sang in the world
premieres of three operas by Wilhelm Peterson-Berger: Arlnjot (1910), Domedagsprofeterna (1919) and Adils och Elisiv (1927).
