Without doubt one of the most beautiful tenor voices ever,what a great pity he never sang on the operatic stage,and died so tragically,here he gives irelands own john mc cormack a real run for his money in this great classic

Well he did sing in opera, he sang complete in Boheme in Brussels, but of course at 4 foot 10 it was hard to find a soprano not a lot taller then he was.

@@shicoff1398 who cares about height or weight? So many singers were short and round, as soon as they started singing, no one thought of their appearance.

@@elenajha4357 I agree, so you have no argument about it with me, but some opera companies and critics and at the time often sadly made it an issue, for me voice is first, looks are second and in fact there where tenors somewhat taller then Schmidt whose fame would have been greater then they where, but where "somewhat" limited because of height or even their weight. Pavarotti overcame that, but when he started singing in a professional manner (singing Boheme in 1961) he was actually trim, not really heavy, as he became later, but it was then over looked.

@@elenajha4357 Well some people and opera critics are narrow minded that way and judge opera as a visual art also, you'd have to take the argument up them, I agree with you.

Right of course, but sadly today some opera houses, today especially, pick partly because of looks, height etc. and limit themselves that way, many great voices from very short or heavy people are excluded these days sometimes. Schmidt was so great he could not be ignored , he had a great lyric voice , especially a great radio career and also concert, and recording, film career, mainly early in Berlin Germany, because of his great voice, talent, and ability to also act in films, but in opera though he did sing some complete performances in Boheme in Brussels and very occasionally in other some other cities, they did find a soprano that around his height, and with lifts on his shoes he was at least over five foot tall (as he was about four feet ten in height ) and some people sadly do consider in opera performances, it to be in part a visual art, ( of course not concerts, radio or even film, there it's not an important issue). Caruso, Bjoerling, Tucker, Bergonzi, Gigli, Tagliavini, Peerce, Gigli and Schipa all where tenors under five foot eight and we did not care. tenor. Tenor Labo had a great voice and sang world wide, but sadly often critics remarked about his only "five feet two height" anyhow Schmidt once said, and I quote "I hate eyes that stare at me but Love ears that listen to me" I do agree with you from my standpoint, I go for voice first in opera, and then the story and looks, and some opera stories are pretty silly anyhow.

Yes, and of course some Lyric tenors recorded the opera or just arias from it, but did not ever sing the role on stage, for example Jussi Bjoerling wisely did not ever sing it, but made a fine recording of it in 1959 for RCA.
