Win VIP tickets to 'A Night at the Opera'
25/09/2008
To celebrate the nation’s new love affair with the world of operatic music is the fantastic new touring show, A Night at the Opera starring Jonathan Ansell.
To complement Jonathan’s boyish looks and sensational voice the producers of the show have undertaken a nationwide search to find the next great soprano and ‘love interest’ for A Night At The Opera.
Eight sopranos appeared on The Alan Titchmarsh Show on Monday 1st September. They sang before a judging panel consisting of voice coach to the stars David Grant, theatre pro Ruthie Henshall and celebrity manager Jonathan Shalit and in front of Jonathan Ansell.
Four have been chosen by the judges; Olivia Safe, Rosie Bell, Rosie Havel, and Esther Dee, they will appear again during September and face a public vote to find two finalists, these will return to sing with Jonathan Ansell and face a final vote to find the winner. The winner will then be joined by the full cast of A Night at the Opera on the Alan Titchmarsh Show on October 27th, and star with them on the nationwide tour from 30th October to 23rd November.
Jonathan Ansell says “This is a good opportunity for a new rising soprano to come and join us, and get the chance to be part of this unique show. It’s a privilege for me to sing all these great songs every night and for a whole month; I’m looking forward to seeing who I will be singing with!”
