Robert vom Scheidt as Escamillo

Robert vom Scheidt (16 April 1879, Bremen – 10 April 1964) was a German operatic baritone. He created roles in several world premieres, including Wolf in Franz Schreker's Das Spielwerk und die Prinzessin (1913), Vitellozzo Tamare/Andrea in Schreker's Die Gezeichneten (1918), Baliv in Schreker's Der Schatzgräber (1920), and Rabbi Leone in Eugène d'Albert's Der Golem (1926).[1]

His elder sister was Selma vom Scheidt (1874–1959), an operatic soprano singer at the court of the Grand Duke in Weimar. His elder brother, Julius vom Scheidt (1877–1949), was an opera singer, too.
