Richard Gutzschbach, real name Richard Gutzschebauch (1840 – 4 November 1921[1]) was a German operatic baritone.
Life
Gutzschbach was born in Großstorkwitz. According to his parents' wishes, he was to become a teacher and, after completing the relevant studies, worked as such for a long time at the higher citizens' school in Chemnitz.[2][3] His voice prompted him to give up teaching and study singing in Dresden at the Hochschule für Musik Carl Maria von Weber Dresden with Professor Gustav Scharfe.[4] After completing his studies, he was immediately engaged at the Saxon Court Theatre in 1866, where he worked for almost 40 years. He was considered a great Wagner interpreter. Gutzschbach died in Dreden in his 80s.
