Photograph signed: "Andrew Földi ", in blue ink. B/w, 2¾x3¾
overall, 2x3 image (one surface). American operas are undoubtedly indebted to
Andrew Földi (1926-2007), the world famous bass baritone who
through performance and education dedicated 40 years of his life to
opera. Földi, born in Hungary and raised in Chicago, made his professional
debut in 1954 at the Lyric Opera of Chicago performing Biondello in The
Taming of the Shrew. Later performing at the San Francisco Opera and the
Cincinnati Zoo Opera, Földi took his career international with debuts at La
Scala, Wiener Staatsoper and the Zurich Opera. In 1975, he settled in New
York City where he joined the Metropolitan Opera, performing his first of 85
appearances that year. He's best remembered for his roles as Schigolch in
Alban Berg's Lulu (1977), Dansker in Benjamin Britten's Billy Budd
(1978) and Dr. Dulcamara in L'Elisir d'Amore by Gaetano Donizetti.
While still major on stage, Földi became a professor at the Cleveland
Institute of Music, and later served as director of the Lyric Opera Center for
American Artists. Lightly bowed. Ink notes (unknown hand) on verso. Otherwise,
fine condition.
