Richard Versalle

Richard Versalle (3 December 1932 – 5 January 1996) was an American operatic tenor, who had an international career including performances at the Bayreuth Festival and the Vienna State Opera. He died while singing in a performance of ''The Makropulos Case'', at the Metropolitan Opera in New York City.
==Biography==
Versalle was born in Muskegon, Michigan. After serving in the submarine branch of the US Navy, he worked in business while studying singing. He was initially known as a concert and oratorio singer and did not make his operatic stage debut until the age of 45 when he sang Augustin Moser in ''Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg'' at Chicago Lyric Opera.〔Forbes (11 January 1996)〕 He specialised in the heavier tenor roles such as the title role in ''Otello'', Florestan in ''Fidelio'', Tristan in ''Tristan und Isolde'', and most notably the title role in ''Tannhäuser'', which he sang at Bayreuth in 1985, 1986, 1987, and 1989, as well as in Genoa, Tokyo, Vienna, Bonn, and the Met.〔Bayreuther Festspiele〕
Versalle made his debut at the Metropolitan Opera on 8 December 1978, when he sang the minor role of the Messenger in ''Aida''. After that, he sang primarily in Europe, having made his European debut in 1981 as Otello at the Saarbrücken opera house . At Saarbrücken he also sang the title role in ''Peter Grimes'' and Siegmund in ''Die Walküre'' (1988). He returned to the Met in 1992 when he sang Tannhäuser. He was at the Met again in 1995 singing Jacob Schmidt in John Dexter's production of ''Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny''.

Versalle died on 5 January 1996, while portraying Vitek (an elderly law clerk) in what was to have been the Metropolitan Opera premiere of Janáček's ''The Makropulos Case''. Only a few minutes into the performance, and after singing the line "You can only live so long" while halfway up a 20-foot (6 meter) ladder, he suffered a fatal heart attack, and fell onto the stage.〔(The Makropulos Case: Act I fragment.
