Cavara's success and stardom peaked in the 1930s, but due to World War II and Joseph Stalin’s invasion of Latvia in the early 1940s, his singing and recording career was cut short prematurely; subsequently, many of his recordings have been lost or lie in obscurity. In 1947, he and his family emigrated to the United States via Ellis Island, settling in St. Peter, Minnesota, where he taught vocal instruction and opera production at Gustavus Adolphus College. He died on April 9, 1979, in Florida. His ashes are interred at the Latvian Memorial Park in the Catskills, Elka Park, NY. (en)
