Finding My Voice: Playing the fool, and other triumphs!

For the last 25 years Jonathan Veira has been a star of the world of opera, handling a wide range of character parts as a comic baritone. A virtuoso musician and delightful raconteur, with skills on keyboard and guitar, he also tours with an extremely popular one man show. He is also a deeply committed Christian. He is a regular guest at Spring Harvest, where his shows are always crammed to capacity. In 2012 he will be performing throughout SH. Jonathan Veira appears regularly at Glyndebourne and other top operatic venues, and has made many successful recordings with Elevation and other labels: he has been conducted by Bernard Haitink. He has a wonderful repertoire of stories, and is a keen observer of the foibles of the operatic world. For more than 20 years he has been a frequent guest on BBC Songs of Praise and a regular broadcaster on BBC radio. Finding My Voice takes you behind the scenes, the curtains and the shrubbery to reveal the man within the music.
