JOSEF METTERNICH - BARITONE

Autographed postcard photograph of the German baritone as astronomer Johannes Kepler in “Harmonie der Welt.”  Metternich originated the leading role of the opera at the World Premier of Hindemith’s work, Munich, 1957. 

 

Metternich inherited the German Verdi baritone mantel from Heinrich Schlusnus.

 

A postal cancellation through the original transmittal envelope has made for several light creases at bottom left, far more obvious in the scan, than in person.
