Ludwig Weber
Born: 29th July 1899, Vienna, Austria
Died: 9th December 1974, Vienna, Austria
Nationality: Austrian
Ludwig Weber was an Austrian bass.
Ludwig Weber was born in Vienna in 1899. He initially planned to pursue a career as a teacher and artist when he discovered his vocal promise and decided to pursue an opera career. In 1919 he began studies with Alfred Borrotau, a well-respected teacher, and had his professional debut in 1920 at the Vienna Volksoper where he sang for a few years in smaller roles.
Possessing one of the largest dark-and-cavernous-type bass voices of the twentieth century, Weber was in equally high demand for villainous roles and noble characters.
