The Musical Heritage Of Yorkshire

Singing Is An Arduous Business And It Needs Sacrifices.

I Performed In Sydney Some Years Ago For The Sydney Festival And I Am Just So Pleased To Be Returning To The Wonderful Sydney Opera House And Also Performing In Melbourne For The First Time.

It Worries Me That Young Singers Think You Can Shortcut The Training And Go Straight To Fame And Fortune, And Programmes Like Pop Idol Have Encouraged That.

I Would Just Like To Say That Opera Is No Longer About Fat People In Breastplates Shattering Wine Glasses.

I Saw The Sound Of Music When I Was 10 And Thought That It Was The Most Beautiful Singing I Had Ever Heard.
