Hans Nachod
Hans Nachod (1883–1965) was an Austrian operatic tenor for whom his cousin Arnold Schoenberg created the role of Waldemar in his cantata Gurre-Lieder.[1]
Nachod was born in Vienna to a family of Jewish cantors.
In 1939, Nachod escaped the Nazi Regime to London. His plans to move to the U.S. failed because of visa problems. He was interned for five months on the Isla of Man in 1940.[1] He was a voice teacher in London until around 1950.[2]
