Voices for the World: 4: Geraint Evans

on BBC One London

Profiles of four leading British opera singers.

In which the celebrated Welsh baritone talks about his distinguished career in international opera, and sings excerpts from The Marriage of Figaro, Don Giovanni, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Otello, and Falstaff.
With contributions by Karl Bohm, Noel Goodwin, Reri Grist, Bernard Paumgartner,
Douglas Robinson
and the BBC Concert Orchestra
Leader, Arthur Leavins
Conducted by Edward Downes

At forty-six, Geraint Evans is in his twentieth year at Covent Garden, and has an international fame to match his great experience and expertise. The programme was filmed against three widely differing backgrounds - at Evans's home in Petts Wood, Kent, at Dynevor Castle in West Wales, and at last year's Salzburg Festival.
(Edward Downes and Douglas Robinson appear by arrangement with the General Administrator, Royal Opera House Covent Garden)
