Fritz Soot

Friedrich Wilhelm Soot (20 August 1878 - 9 June 1965) was a German opera singer (tenor).

[1][2] Born in Wellesweiler [de], Soot became an early member of the Badisches Staatstheater Karlsruhe ensemble.

After the Second World War Soot appeared again as a singer from 1946 to 1952, but could not quite continue his earlier successes.

In the winter of 1952/53 Soot gave his farewell performance and retired from public life.

At age 86 Fritz Soot died on June 9, 1965, in Berlin and found his last resting place there.
