Robert Kristian Paolo Sperati (July 27, 1872 – October 12, 1945) was a Norwegian stage actor and film actor from the silent-film era. [1] [2] [3]
Sperati was born in Bergen. He made his debut at the National Theater in Bergen as the aristocrat in Turgenev's Fortune's Fool (Norwegian : Nådsensbrødet) before he had success as Thummelumsen in Gustav Wied's comedy of the same name and in Anthon B. Nilsen's Bedstemors Gut (Grandma's Boy). He later worked in Oslo, at the Central Theater, [4] the Oslo New Theater, and the Open-Air Theater on Bygdøy. [5] He also participated in the first broadcast of the NRK Radio Theater, in the role of the Bøyg in Henrik Ibsen's Peer Gynt (on September 12, 1926). [6] [7]
Sperati was the son of the conductor Robert Sperati (1848–1884) and the actress Octavia Sperati, [8] and the grandson of the conductor and composer Paolo Sperati. He was married to the author Kitty Lossius. [9] He was the nephew of the composer and music professor Carlo Alberto Sperati.
Edvard Hagerup Grieg was a Norwegian composer and pianist. He is widely considered one of the main Romantic era composers, and his music is part of the standard classical repertoire worldwide. His use of Norwegian folk music in his own compositions brought the music of Norway to fame, as well as helping to develop a national identity, much as Jean Sibelius did in Finland and Bedřich Smetana in Bohemia.
