Ezio Pinza and Kipnis
Roles Often Compared
By LAURA OLSON
The name—Alexander Kipnis;
the place — McArthur court; the
Music association; those eligible to
attend the concert — ASUO and
ECMA members.
Kipnis is billed as the leading
bass-baritone of the Metropolitan
Opera company, and is known in
ternationally for his Met roles. His
most famous is Czar Boris in “Bo
ris Godounoff.”
In 1940 Kipnis made his initial ap
pearance at the Metropolitan when
he sang the role of Gurnemanz in
“Parsifal.”
Today he is compared with Ezio
Pinza who is the Met’s most fam
ous basso singer. Kipnis sings the
German and Russian bass-baritone
roles, while Pinza takes over if the
roles are in French or Italiaan.
While interned in a German pris
on camp during World War I, Kip
nis sang for his fellow prisoners.
On one of these occasions he was
heard by a German colonel. The
colonel summoned an operatic im
pressario to discover if Kipnis’
voice was as good as the colonel
