JOHN COATES
Signed postcard photo, in 3-piece suit with pipe
Postcard Photograph signed: "Yours sincerely/John Coates/as
Logengrin/1911". B/w, 3½x5½ picture postcard (J. Beagles & Co. of
London). English operatic tenor John Coates (1865-1941) began singing in
church choirs. In 1894 he joined the touring company of D'Oyly Carte, and
performed in musical comedies through 1899. By the turn of the century Coates
was a recognized star of serious opera, performing on stages in Berlin and Paris
as well as London's Covent Garden. The date accompanying his signature was
the year in which he sang the title role in Wagner's Lohengrin, rather
than the year he signed the photo, and though he has written "as Lohengrin,"
he obviously not dressed for the part here. Coates had a very broad repertoire,
and was a favorite at music festivals. Lightly creased at corners. Stained on
verso. Otherwise, fine condition.
