BBC World Service - In the Studio, Khanyiso Gwenxane

Khanyiso Gwenxane is a star in a new generation of opera singers.

The award-winning South African tenor was a 2014 finalist in the prestigious Belvedere Singing Competition, considered one of the most important global opera showcases. He has since headlined festivals and has worked with many of the world’s top opera directors and conductors.

For this In The Studio, actor and filmmaker Tara Gadomski is following Khanyiso for two, fast-paced weeks, as he rehearses for his United States’ debut, singing the title role in Rossini’s Otello at Opera Philadelphia.  Discover how he learns the part and takes care of his voice, what it’s like to go from practicing on his own to working with the whole opera company and orchestra, not to mention singing the high C notes while still jet lagged! 

Presented by: Tara Gadomski
Produced by: Tara Gadomski and Emma Betteridge for the BBC World Service
