Arnold van Mill
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arnold van Mill (born Schiedam, The Netherlands, 26 maart 1921 - Hamburg, Germany, 1996) was a Dutch bass, who sang in opera.
Between 1950 and 1980 he was famous for his interpretations of roles in operas of Richard Wagner, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Giuseppe Verdi. He also performed with success in operettes like 'Zar und Zimmermann' von Lortzing. He frequently sang at the post-war Bayreuth Festival under Wieland Wagner, before a misunderstanding between Wieland Wagner and Arnold van Mill ended the co-operation in Bayreuth.
He was a member of the Hamburger Staatsoper from 1953-1971. He received the German/Austrian honorary title of Kammersänger from this theatre for his duties.
His legacy on record consists of, among other, Die Entführung aus dem Serail (Osmin), Tristan und Isolde (König Marke), Die Walküre (Hunding) and Aïda (Ramfis).
