William Johns

William Johns (born 2 October 1936) is an American tenor who sang leading roles in the opera houses of Europe and the United States in a career spanning more than 25 years. Several of his live performances in Germany and Italy during the 1970s have been preserved on CD, including the title roles in Alfano's ''Cyrano de Bergerac'' and Mercadante's ''Il bravo''.
==Life and career==
Johns was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He attended Capitol Hill High School in Oklahoma City and then studied vocal performance and music at Oklahoma City University, followed by further study in New York.〔Forbes, Elizabeth (2001).

Retrieved 26 October 2015.〕 A national finalist in the 1965 Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions,〔 he made his professional début in 1967 at Lake George Opera as Rodolfo in ''La bohème''. That same year he went to Germany and was primarily based there throughout the 1970s, first as a company soloist at the Bremen Opera (1967–1971), and then at the National Theatre Mannheim (1971–1975) and the Cologne Opera (1975–1979).〔Kutsch, Karl-Josef and Riemens, Leo (2004). ("Johns, William" ). ''Großes Sängerlexikon'', Vol. 4, pp. 2259–2260. Walter de Gruyter. ISBN 359844088X 〕 He sang in five productions the Bayreuth Festival, initially in smaller roles such as Edler in ''Lohengrin'' (1968), Knappe in ''Parsifal'' (1969), and Augustin Moser in ''Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg'' (1968 and 1969), but returned there in 1987 in the leading role of Walther von Stolzing in ''Die Meistersinger''.〔Bayreuth Festival Arhives. ("William Johns" ). Retrieved 26 October 2015 .〕
The late 1970s and 1980s saw several major house and festival debuts in Europe and the United States. Johns's first appearance at Lyric Opera of Chicago was in 1976 as Hoffmann in ''Les Contes d'Hoffmann''. He later returned there as Walther von Stolzing in ''Die Meistersinger'' (1977), Bacchus in ''Ariadne auf Naxos'' (1981), and the title role in ''Otello'' (1985). He made his Metropolitan Opera debut in 1979 as Don José in ''Carmen'' and went on to appear there in 28 performances through 1993, primarily in dramatic tenor and Wagnerian roles. His last Met performance was in the title role of ''Siegfried''.〔Metropolitan Opera Archives. ("Johns, William (Tenor)" ). Retrieved 26 October 2015.〕 Other major house debuts during this period included the Paris Opera in 1985 as Tristan in ''Tristan und Isolde'', La Scala in 1986 as The Emperor in the ''Die Frau ohne Schatten'', and the Royal Opera House in 1987 as Bacchus in ''Ariadne auf Naxos''.〔
