Hans Herbert Fiedler (November 10, 1907 in Triest – February 14, 2004 in Munich) was a German operatic bass and actor.
[2] Fiedler made his professional opera debut in 1940 at the Landestheater in Salzburg portraying the role of Papageno in Mozart's The Magic Flute.
After a commitment at the Stadttheater Mainz (1953–55), his career became more centered within the concert repertoire than in opera, although he still occasionally appeared in stage works.
[2] Fiedler retired from his singing career in 1965 after which he joined the voice faculty at the Richard Strauss Conservatory in Munich.
Some of the stage roles for which he achieved considerable success are Count Almaviva in Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Le nozze di Figaro, the title role in Pyotr Tchaikovsky Eugene Onegin, Rodrigo in Giuseppe Verdi's Don Carlos, Iago in Verdi's Otello, Scarpia in Giacomo Puccini's Tosca, Sixtus Beckmesser in Richard Wagner's Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, the title role in the Boris Godunov and the Jochanaan in Richard Strauss's Salome.
