Life and career
Wiedemann was born in the Neuhausen district of Munich. He was trained as a baritone and made his debut in 1904 at the Stadttheater Elberfeld (now part of Wuppertal)[1] where he was engaged for two seasons.[1] From 1906 until 1909, he worked at the Mahen Theatre in Brno, then for four seasons at the Hamburg State Opera, and from 1913 at the Berlin Court Opera.[1] His guest appearances began in 1907 at the Dresden Court Opera and in 1909 at the Bavarian State Opera. In 1913, he appeared as Faninal in Der Rosenkavalier by Richard Strauss at the Royal Opera House in London.[1]
In 1916, he followed a call to the Imperial Court Opera in Vienna, which became the Vienna State Opera in 1918. He remained there for the rest of his career.[1] The roles he performed most often in Vienna were Faninal in Der Rosenkavalier, performed 196 times, and Wagner's Beckmesser in Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, performed 155 times, Alberich in Der Ring des Nibelungen and Klingsor in Parsifal.[2] He also performed in Mozart operas, Beethoven's Fidelio and in Italian operas. He appeared as Escamilio in Bizet's Carmen, and in operas by Alban Berg, Julius Bittner, Marco Frank, Wilhelm Kienzl, Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Otto Nicolai, Hans Pfitzner, Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari and Alexander von Zemlinsky. His repertoire also included Viennese operettas by Johann Strauss and Franz Lehár.[2] In 1930, he was awarded the title Kammersänger.[1][3] At the Salzburg Festival, he first appeared as Guglielmo in Mozart's Così fan tutte in 1922, returned in 1925 as Malatesta in Donizetti's Don Pasquale, and appeared from 1929 until 1941 almost annually as Faninal. Arturo Toscanini cast him in 1936 and 1937 as Beckmesser, a production that was recorded.[4] It remained the only leading role of the singer that has been preserved in its entirety. James Forrest of Fanfare magazine praised the performance, when Wiedemann was already aged 58 but sang with a "well-preserved" voice.[5]
He performed as a guest at the Liceu of Barcelona in 1927, at La Monnaie in Brussels in 1936, the Teatro Colón of Buenos Aires in the 1930s, and in London as Beckmesser in 1938.[1][3] He also gave a guest performance at the Munich Opera Festival as Donner and Alberich in the Ring cycle, and from 1934 to 1941 almost every year at the Zoppoter Festspiele,[1] a festival in the Forest Opera of Sopot known as the Bayreuth of the North.[6]
Wiedemann was also a significant concert singer.[1] From 1942, he taught operatic dramatic performance at the Wiener Musikakademie.
Wiedemann was married to Marie Dopler a dramatic soprano who performed in Brno, Hamburg and Magdeburg.[3] She also appeared at the Vienna Court Opera in the 1911–12 season, as Elektra in the opera by Richard Strauss, Ortrud in Wagner's Lohengrin and Brünnhilde in Siegfried.[7] She died in 1942 and was buried in her family's grave at Hietzinger Friedhof on 13 June 1942.[8]
According to Oesterreichisches Musiklexikon, Wiedemann died at a sanatorium in Strengberg, Lower Austria, at the age of 65.[3]
