Description

[Item Description]

Alexander Davidov tenor (1872-1944) As a young man, toured with choirs to practice his chosen trade. In order to afford private lessons he worked long hours at hard labor and lived in shelters for vagrants. When he was ready, he accepted leading roles in Odessa, Kharkov and Kiev before becoming a member of Mamontov's Private Opera company in Moscow. Davidov appeared with success at the Imperial Opera in St. Petersburg and at the Paris Opéra. However, his career came to an unfortunate end around 1912 because of his decision to sing heavier roles than his essentially lyric voice could handle and because of his eventual deafness.
