Max Lorenz (deceased)

Gender: Male

Sexuality: Gay

DOB: 10 May 1901  

RIP: 11 January 1975

Ethnicity: White - German

Occupation: Opera singer

Note: Lorenz was homosexual, but from 1932 he was married to Charlotte (Lotte) Appel, who was Jewish and was aware of his homosexuality. His homosexuality was mostly tolerated by the Nazis as a well-known secret. Lorenz insisted on being open about his marriage, which was taken as a provocation by the Nazis.

Discussion with my friends

Me: (post a picture of young Max Lorenz) Look! This Tristan looks so cute! With two big watery eyes.

My friends: OHHHHHHHHH––!

Me: (post a picture of Kristen Flagstad): What an elegant lady! She must be the queen of elves.

My friends: Exactly.

Me: (post a video of Franco Corelli): Awwwww––the Prince Charming of opera!

My friends: Oh man I can't resist that.

Actually most of they're not so familiar with operas, but good looks are popular everywhere.I hope they will have time to appreciate those beautiful voices.

I also hope no one will say something like "He sang like a Beagle" under videos of Jon Vickers. We Chinese Wagnerians have gotten a nickname for him: Mr. Brush, which means he had a rather rough voice. At first it was a negative nickname, but, now it contains no offense, we love his unique voice and outstanding interpretation after all.
