To entrust someone who was barely out of college with the Title Role at wno was not a risk but it was an adventure for the company to take. We saw him at Cardiff Singer of the world, and thats on an international platform

the welsh national opera s director, oversaw that performance more than 30 years ago. to entrust someone who was barely out of college with the title role at wno was not a risk but it was an adventure for the company to take. we saw him at cardiff singer of the world and that s on an international platform and being the welsh national opera it seemed too good an opportunity to pass up. i worked with the highly eminent conductor sir charles mackerras who s world famous for his work in mozart and after a minute of his singing, charles lent over to me and said i don t think we re going to have any problems with this , he said, and we knew, the rest is history, really. though, before bryn made it onto the stage for the wno, he was thrown out. just before he did his first professional engagement with us, singing in cosi fan tutte, he came in with a pal to watch some of his pal s rehearsal.
