Notes for Otto Brandeis
{geni:occupation} tenor, teacher
{geni:about_me} Otto Brandeis - Otto Morando, voice teacher
Had the good fortune to belong to a family of excellent musicians,
being nearly related to David Popper, the great 'cellist and composer.
His early studies were pursued at the Vienna Conservatory, and the
fact that Gustav Mahler, late composer and conductor of the opera at
Vienna and New York, took particular interest in him is sufficient to show
his exceptional talent. He sang with great success in Germany and
Austria, but was not satisfied until he reached Italy, the Mecca of all
vocalists. There he resided for some years studying the Lamperti method,
and at the same time meeting and learning all he possibly could from the
many singers resident there.
During his years in Toronto, teaching privately and at the Canadian Academy of Music 1913-24 (and also teaching during the summers 1920-2 in Victoria, BC), he developed many young singers
Moved to LA, California in 1924
