Life and career Born Sándor Svéd in Budapest, Hungary, Svéd was trained as a violinist at the Franz Liszt Academy of Music. After graduating he pursued vocal training in Milan with baritones Mario Sammarco and Riccardo Stracciari. He later studied singing with Estelle Liebling in New York City. Svéd made his professional debut at the Hungarian State Opera House in 1928 as the Count di Luna in Giuseppe Verdi's Il trovatore. From 1935 through 1939 he was a resident artist at the Vienna State Opera under Bruno Walter where he achieved an international reputation for heroic roles in the Italian repertory; including the part of the Marquis of Posa in Don Carlo. At that house he had a major critical triumph in 1938 as Amonasro in Aida under the baton of Victor de Sabata. Outside of the Italian repertory, he also appeared in Vienna as Escamillo in Carmen, Hans Sachs in Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, Lysiart in Euryanthe, Wolfram in Tannhäuser, and the title role in Eugene Onegin. In 1936 Sved made several appearances at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden where he was positively received in the roles of Scarpia in Tosca, Amonasro, and the title role in Rigoletto.…
