description: "Franz Grundheber was a German operatic baritone. He was based at the Hamburg State Opera where he appeared in over 150 roles from 1966, celebrating his 2000th performance there in 2012, as Amonasro in Verdi's Aida. His voice, described as brilliant with a seamless legato and compelling high notes, was flexible enough to sing Italian opera as well as Wagner roles such as Amfortas in Parsifal, and 20th century roles such as Moses in Schoenberg's Moses und Aron and world premieres. He performed at major international opera houses, especially the Vienna State Opera."
