Gasparone, Leo Slezak

A good singer AND a good actor! If only true opera had him again.... the opera and performing world is a duller place without him.

Leo S. always sang in the most pleasing way, in both grand opera and operetta. He was a master singer in all realms. He exudes charm and style! Thanks to the poster.

Ahhh, I see where Walter got his delightful speaking voice, AND those twinkly, oh-so-intelligent eyes. This is lovely. I wish I could watch the whole film. I shall have to hunt this down.

Walter Slezak a favourite actor and then I find he has a more famous father! They look like twins and Walter could sing but not like this!! 1937, Leo has been retired from Opera for 3 years and is 64 years old! Amazing!

Slezak was one of the greatest of his era. He was a bit past his prime here, but his wondrous talent still shone brightly. He was a very articulate man whose writings are very interesting and entertaining to read.

BRILLIANT

English would be nice. Thank you.

[@macksawyer6221]

Not any nicer than German.

[@hrbooksmusic7878]

Well, but we don‘t want to dub him… and he sang this in German… Or do you mean the dialogues only? Who do you suggest should synchronize them? Just enjoy the great voice! 😊

wenn leo wüßte, daß er namensgeber für eine straße in neukölln ist, in der nur straftäter und rumänen wohnen, er würde sich im grabe umdrehen

[@macksawyer6221]

Rumänen!!!!!! Nein, das ist das Ende der Welt!!!!! (Slezak war auch kein Deutscher.....)

[@hrbooksmusic7878]

Was für eine „geschmackvolle“ Geste… 👎
