I spent three hours of my Saturday afternoon at the New Theatre in Cardiff, watching Masterclasses with some singers from the Cardiff Singer of The World competition. As a classical singer myself this was very educational and amazing to see two international opera stars at work. Marilyn Horne worked with the Welsh Tenor John Pierce. She was brilliant with him and the change was evident after a short period. Marilyn then worked with the Canadian. Dennis O'Neill was the second opera star to take the stage working with two female singers. He knew what he was looking for and again the changes in the sound after the pupil carried out Dennis' instructions was truly unbelievable. What and educational day, and its encouraging to know that I am I safe hands.

I watched 'Cardff Singer of the World' competition on television. Wonderful singing. It made Katherine Jenkins' 'Pop to Opera star' programme look sooo tacky.
