Joseph Aloys Tichatschek (1807-1886) "Tenor's greatest hero"
Kajzar, Martin
Joseph Aloys Tichatscheck was one of the distinctive figures of singing not just for his original performances of the operas and music dramas by Richard Wagner, but also for his artistic complexity. During his life he had a rich career as a singer in Germany and in many other European countries. He was practically a symbol of singing of Wagner's music drama and a true archetype of the Heldentenor. During Wagner's life, moreover, he became a major promoter of the composer's work. The Dissertation Thesis was founded on research of sources both in the Czech Republic (Prague, Teplice nad Metuji) as well as abroad (Bayreuth, Berlin, Dresden, Frankfurt, Leipzig, Moscow, Neuruppin, Vienna), but also thanks to digitized global archives and national libraries, documents, handwritten materials, newspaper and magazine reviews, photographs and family memories (courtesy of Monika and Joachim Zimpel). Today it is more than two centuries since the artist's birth, and it is the aim of the Dissertation to present a complex artistic and personal profile of Joseph Tichatscheck as the outcome of the Author's original research activities.
