Ernst Kraus (1863-1941) was one of the leading hero tenors of his time. Celebrated in Bayreuth and first hero tenor at the Berlin Court Opera from 1896 for 25 years. He was friend with Enrico Caruso and ended his career in 1923.
On these two original postcards from 1904 we see Kraus as Lohengrin and the opera in Berlin colored.
