Theo Altmeyer

Theo Altmeyer (16 March 1931 – 28 July 2007) was a German classical tenor. Although he was a successful opera singer, portraying the title roles of Britten's Albert Herring and Pfitzner's Palestrina at the Staatsoper Hannover, he is chiefly remembered for his work as an oratorio soloist, especially the Evangelist in Bach's Passions. He possessed a rich and lyrical voice that he employed with great expression and nuance.
