▪ 2001

      Austrian opera and concert singer (b. April 8, 1929, Vienna, Austria—d. Oct. 27, 2000, Vienna), was a world-renowned bass baritone whose interpretations of the German operatic and song repertory were highly praised. He joined the Vienna State Opera in 1950 and debuted two years later at the Salzburg Festival, where he performed regularly. Berry developed a repertory of more than 100 operatic roles, including Don Alfonso in Mozart's Così fan tutte and Ochs in Strauss's Der Rosenkavalier. Berry also established a strong reputation as a lieder singer. Besides appearances in Vienna and Salzburg, he sang 89 performances at the Metropolitan Opera in New York City from 1966 to 1978.
