Gwyneth Jones
, Joan Bakewell talks to soprano
Gwyneth Jones about her life and early career. Known for her performances of operatic roles by Wagner, Verdi and Strauss, Jones first sang on the stage at the age of six and later smuggled herself into a children's choir. She began her career as a mezzo, but conductor
Nello Santi persuaded her to sing soprano roles. By the age of 18, she had lost both parents and life was tough; when she went to London to study, she supported herself financially by working in the Moo Cow Milk Bar and went without lunch in order to save money.
