Prior to World War II, Fritz Zweig was one of the premier operatic directors and conductors in Europe. His wife, whose stage name was Tilly DeGarmo, was one of the most celebrated German sopranos of the era...Mrs. Zweig taught me the mechanics of vocalization and the fundamentals of breath management, vocal placement, vowel modification and diction.
