first public appearance in his
20th anniversary year.
The concert at the Center will
take place next Wednesday eve-
ning.
Although making his operatic
debut at the Vienna Volks Opera
in 1924; the possessor of the low-
est voice ever to sing at the
Metropolitan acquired all of his
musical education in America
prior to this date.
• Mr. List's career is the reverse
of the usual story of an American
studying abroad with the "great"
and returning home to make a
sensational debut in America. He
was only a cabaret singer when
he left Austria befort World War
I and, upon arrival in this coun-
try, sang in burleSque and New
York motion picture houses.
Finest Teachers Here
"All of my. good fortune I ac-
credit to my studies and early
experience in America," says
List. "I think I am one of the
first singers that exploded the
theory of having to study abroad
in order to accomplish anything.
We had then and still have the
finest teachers right 'here in
America."
After several years of hard
work and study, List, now an
American citizen, sailed for Eu-
rope on a short visit to see his
mother. In a chance audition be-.
fore Felix Weingartner he was
immediately booked to sing at
the yienna Volks Opera. His suc-
cessful operatic debut and phe-
nomenal acclaim for subsequent
perfOrmances inevitably led. - to
engagements in Berlin,
Barcelona, Madrid,. S a 1 z b u r g,
Bayreuth, Colbgne and London.
At the same time' he was also
. becoming 'known on - the con-
tinent as an outstanding concert
artist.
