Matches in DBpedia 2014 for { ?s ?p Vera Schwarz (10 July 1888 – 4 December 1964) was an Austrian Soprano, known primarily for her operetta partnership with Richard Tauber. She appeared with Tauber in the Berlin Premiere of Lehar's operetta Paganini in January 1926 at the Deutsches Künstlertheater, and in a new production at the Theater des Westens in April 1930, both conducted by the composer. More famously, she and Tauber appeared, again under the composer's baton, in the October 1929 premiere of Das Land des Lächelns at the Metropol Theater in Berlin, making some famous creator-recordings at the time.Some respected sources claim that she also appeared with Tauber in Lehar's Der Zarewitsch, but this is incorrect. The 1927 operetta has only two soprano singing roles; one an ingénue role, played originally by Rita Georg, and the other a soubrette part, played by Charlotte Ander. There is simply no part in this operetta for a singer of Schwarz's voice and stature.Schwarz and Tauber had first appeared together in Carmen at the Berliner Staatsoper in May 1921, and were often to appear together in operas such as Die Tote Stadt, Un Ballo in Maschera, Tosca, Carmen and Die Fledermaus at the Wiener Staatsoper. It was here they last appeared together in Das Land des Lächelns in February 1938, shortly before the Nazi Anschluss.
