Question: Dear Diva, Johan Lederer or John Leder or John Seder supposedly performed at the Met sometime during the 1890's. He was born around 1875 and is my great grandfather. Can you direct me to any documentation concerning his time there? Thanks so much! Jane

Diva: Dear Jane,

Sorry, the Metropolitan Opera archival database lists no singer named Johan Lederer, John Leder or John Seder. Was you great grandfather a soloist or a chorister (in which case he would not necessarily be listed in the database): http://archives.metoperafamily.org/archives/frame.htm
