    Sir Geraint Evans discusses his career in opera

    Dec. 9, 1969

    Sir Geraint Evans discusses his career in opera. He also discusses his life in Wales and the Welsh language.

  • Peter Glossop discusses his career and the 2nd interview is of Sarah Caldwell discussing her profession

    At a young age, Peter Glossop knew that all he ever wanted to be was an opera singer. Glossop said with opera, there's the best of two worlds, both singing and acting. Verdi was a favorite, Glossop explained, as Verdi had written great roles for baritone singers. Sarah Caldwell was very good at playing music at a young age. She also loved the theatre. To her, it was a logical step to direct operas. Caldwell explained that her job as the director is to hold the audiences' attention and to make the piece real, to convey the playwright's message.
