San Francisco Opera Ochs auf Lerchenau, Baron History
1940-41 * Alexander Kipnis was the authoritative Ochs.
* Bloomfield-50 Years of SFO/ 1922-1978    The San Francisco Opera.
1955, 57 * Edelmann was engaged principally for his well-regarded Baron Ochs in Rosenkavalier. Certainly his buffo-cantate singing, authoritative jollity and perfect Viennese dialect produce a fine one.
1967 * The veteran Greindl played Ochs as a happy oaf, with at least a solid degree of dignity amidst the animal passions.

The master, Kurt Moll, as Baron Ochs in Der Rosenkavalier from the Salzburg Festival. Karajan conducting "Da lieg ich"/ Click left for You Tube
Bass Kristinn Sigmundsson gave a deliciously oversized performance as Baron Ochs, the lecherous fool from whose pawing designs Octavian must rescue Sophie./ SF Review 2007
Kristinn Sigmundsson was an impressive Ochs. The bass .. brings just the right blend of vulgarity, sentimentality, vocal expansiveness and sonorous low notes to his performance as the baron who sets his lecherous sights on both Sophie and "Mariandel."/ Review 2007
Kristinn Sigmundsson's Baron Ochs (who spend as much time together as those in the more, ahem, positive relationships) did remarkable work, both singing and acting.,/ EX Review 2007
Act Two: Wird kommen uber Nacht
