Robert Weede (1903-1972)

Robert Weede was a tremendous American baritone who had a long and successful career in opera, and musical theater.

His repertoire included Rigoletto, Scarpia, Tonio, and Amonasro.

He also created the role of Tony Esposito in the original Broadway production of "Most Happy Fella".

His is a vocal talent that should be re-examined and his name should be more widely known and added to the Pantheon of Great Singers.
