'''Koloman von Pataky''', real name '''Kálmán Pataky de Déstalva''' (14 November 1896 – 3 March 1964) was a Hungarian opera singer ([[tenor]]).<ref>[http://bit.ly/2WAoCSq Koloman von Pataky] on Bach Cantatas Website</ref>

== Life and career ==
Pataky was born in [[Lendava]], Austria-Hungaria. After a short and little systematic training he made his debut in Budapest as Duke of [[Mantua]]. In 1926 he went to Vienna and took part in the first performance of the Egyptian Helena by [[Richard Strauss]]. His focus was on Italian and French music, and he made a name for himself as a Mozart singer. In 1931 he made his debut at the [[Salzburg Festival]] in ''[[Der Rosenkavalier]]''.

In the years after his arrival in Vienna at Damböckgasse 10, [[Mariahilf]], Pataky lived together with his 14 years younger wife Lea Beregi (1910-1996), daughter of the Hungarian actor [[Oscar Beregi (actor, born 1876)|Oskar Beregi]] (1876-1965) who fled to Vienna in 1919. He led a very hospitable house in his apartment at Margaretenstraße 82, [[Margareten]]. In 1932 Pataky applied for financial compensation in Vienna after his tailor and his wife's singing teacher had sued him for unpaid debts. The social affair body, knowing that Pataky was a member of the ensemble of the [[Vienna State Opera]] in the rank of an Austrian [[Kammersänger]], revealed that the exuberant hospitality that the couple offered every visitor to their house had allegedly led to the singer's destitution.<ref>.</ref> In September 1932 Pataky's application was rejected by the court, and in December it was discontinued. According to , Pataky might have given up his apartment in Damböckgasse as a result of the ''apartment indicator''.

In 1939, Pataky sang the Hueon from ''[[Oberon (opera)|Oberon]]'' in Milan [[Teatro alla Scala]] under [[Tullio Serafin]].

His [[Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart|Mozart]] interpretations are said to have been among the best of the 20th century. After a leg amputation he had to end his career in the 1940s.
