Arnold van Mill

Arnold van Mill (26 March 1921 in Schiedam – 5 October 1996 in Hamburg) was a Dutch bass opera singer.

There, he already sang, in Dutch, the great bass roles of the repertoire like Boris Godunov, King Marke, Hagen and Gurnemanz.

Wieland and Wolfgang Wagner thought Van Mill was suited well for the roles of Titurel (Parsifal), Hunding (Die Walküre) and Hans Sachs.

He also performed with success in comic operas like Zar und Zimmermann by Albert Lortzing.

He worked with the great stars of the fifties and sixties like Kirsten Flagstad, Birgit Nilsson, Christa Ludwig, Herbert von Karajan, Wolfgang Windgassen, Hans Knappertsbusch and Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau.
