Description: KARL JÖRN (RIGA, LATVIA, 5 JANUARY, 1873 - DENVER, COLORADO, 19 DECEMBER, 1947) He made his debut in 1896 at Freiburg as Lionel in Martha. On December 13, 1904, he appeared at the Berlin Hofoper in the premiere of Ruggiero Leoncavallo’s Der Roland von Berlin. He was a member of the Metropolitan Opera for six seasons (1908-1914). In 1914, at the Berlin Deutschen Opernhaus, he sang the title role in the premiere of Richard Wagner's Parsifal. He was a favorite of Emperor Wilhelm II, who gifted him several souvenirs on multiple occasions. In 1916, he accepted American citizenship. During the 1920s, he lost his entire fortune and lived in obscurity as a singing teacher in Denver, Colorado. When Johanna Gadski undertook a North American tour with the German Opera Company during the 1929-1931 seasons, she invited him to join, and he once again found success performing roles such as Tristan, Siegmund, and Siegfried. In 1932, he opened a vocal studio in New York but later returned to Denver. He was married to the soprano Else Jörn-Becker.
