Sydney Rayner (September 12, 1895 – September 14, 1981)〔(SYDNEY RAYNER (1895-1981), Social Security Death Index )〕 was an American operatic tenor. Born in New Orleans, Rayner went to Milan in 1924 for vocal studies, which led to his debut in 1927, in Rome, as Rodolfo in ''La bohème''. He was often heard at the Opéra-Comique and the Berlin Staatsoper. On May 23, 1936, the tenor made his Metropolitan Opera debut, as Don José in ''Carmen'', opposite Bruna Castagna. He appeared with that company through 1938, in ''Aïda'' (with Elisabeth Rethberg), ''Cavalleria rusticana'' (with Rosa Ponselle), ''Carmen'' again (opposite Ponselle), ''Les contes d'Hoffmann'' (conducted by Maurice Abravanel and directed by Herbert Graf), ''Manon'' (with Bidu Sayão in her Met debut, later with Grace Moore), ''Faust'', and ''Pagliacci'' (opposite Robert Weede in his Met debut). In 1943, Rayner sang in ''La forza del destino'', opposite Herva Nelli, at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Rayner died at the age of eighty-six, in East Patchogue. == External links == * Sydney Rayner in an excerpt from ''Manon'' (audio only, 1937).
