From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Herman Jadlowker (July 17, 1877, Riga - May 13, 1953, Tel Aviv-Jafo) was a Russian tenor. In order to escape from a commercial career into which his father wished to force him, he ran away from home as a lad of 15 and finally went to Vienna, where he studied singing with Gänsbacher. In 1899 he made his début at Cologne in Kreutzer's Nachtlager von Granada. He then secured engagements in Stettin and Karlsruhe. Here Emperor William heard him and was so impressed that he offerred him a five-year contract at the Royal Opera in Berlin. From there he went to Vienna. In 1910 he appeared at the Metropolitan Opera House, where he was one of the most versatile and reliable artists. In 1912 he returned to Berlin.
