Sherrill Milnes
The big break for American baritone Sherrill Milnes came in 1964 when he won an American Opera Audition and the chance to sing the Barber of Seville in Florence. It was only a matter of time before his debut at the New York Met and the launch of his international career. He talks to
Joan Bakewell about his first steps on to the operatic stages of the world. Music includes excerpts from Verdi's Macbeth.
