Klaus Ofczarek, who sang 1,018 opera, operetta and musical performances at the Volksoper, died yesterday in Vienna.

He made his debut in 1978 and retired 30 years later.

I saw him once in Lulu at the Staatsoper. It was a minor role but he held the stage for its duration.

    >> 1,018 opera, operetta and musical roles

    Isn’t that # of performances rather than distinct roles ?
