Bryn Terfel
It was in Cardiff, and the cast was 60 per cent Welsh-speaking.

Singing Hans Sachs is always a milestone, but I was happy to be part of such an achievement, not personally but as a company.

I want the little lassies who are thinking of going to a nightclub in Cardiff to stop to see what that guy's screaming for, or Grandma to put her knitting down to see why that guy's chatting about Alexander the Great.
