Bryn Terfel

Forget tenors! They are all mummy’s boys! Men who, after marrying a woman, leave her by dying of disillusioned love; or they are murdered by the baritone - which brings us to the case in point. The baritone is often a rogue who scorns love, follows his head and is happy to look after his desires. He’s the secret hero of the opera, and invariably the strange, sinister one too. Here the best opera baritone of today will stand before you on the stage and present samples of his art-form. Bryn Terfel sings the parts of operatic meanies! The man positively glows with charisma, and relishes the fact that he is finally able to play the parts of all Bond villains rolled into one. When villains sing so well, it is only too tempting to surrender to them!
