Thorkild Noval
Noval as a baritone
Thorkild Noval, born May 18th, 1903, somewhere in Denmark; died March 1958. He studied in Rome as a baritone and made his debut as
Germont in Paris in 1927. He restudied as a tenor in Berlin (where he had sung small parts at the Deutsche Oper Berlin) in 1933. As a
tenor, he was both at the Staatsoper and Volksoper Berlin, next in Kiel, and in 1937, he came to Hamburg, where he was to stay into
the post-war period, singing mainly lyrical parts (Almaviva, Tamino, Don Ottavio,
Wilhelm Meister and so on), but also Alvaro. Noval became a quite well-known tenor in
Germany. Strangely, he recorded classical music only in his
early years as an excellent baritone, while still in Denmark – as a tenor, he just appeared on record in light music, primarily
film songs.
