The pandemic hit us, obviously so severely financially, meant that we had to embrace ways of doing things that were maybe not quite as expensive. i think some of those ways in which we do things, for example building sets that arent quite so extravagant. behind—the—scenes, this is the beating heart of the props department that makes all sorts of things for the stage at the royal opera house here in covent garden in london. we are already seeing a lot of virtual reality in opera, particular s...

Warmth she brings to her performing. there is a real humanity and depth of experience which belies her age, and thats what communicates to an audience, and why they are so excited when they see and hear her on stage. now meet french tenor benjamin bernheim, who has big ideas about the future of opera. he is already in great demand at opera houses all over the world. i think benjamin bernheim is one of the most exciting of our younger tenors and he is rightly making a name for himself all over th...

Now on bbc news: zeinab badawi meets two young opera stars who are grappling with a new world of opera. i have been an opera fan for decades and i want to share my passion with you. so i am on a mission to tell you about some of the names in opera who are making it fit for the future. meet south african soprano masabane cecilia rangwanasha, who loves song contests, and is tipped to become a superstar. i was in love with opera from the beginning, but i actually did not know there was opera, ijust...

Does not choose who or how you look like, where you come from, and it doesnt matter who is telling the story. it is the story of the character we are telling that should be important. # she wasnt wearing slacks...#. cecilia would like to be seen as a role model for black artists wanting to make it in opera. so, i think slowly but surely, we are going to have more people of colour singing in these big houses, so i think it is going there, and i think there is a future for young women like me, bla...

Yes, i know in south africa now it is getting, people now know about it, than when i started. because we have the culture of singing, which is choral music and african music, which is actually not farfrom opera. in the autumn of 2021, cecilia is taking a major step in her career when she becomes a house soloist with the swiss national opera in the capital, bern. cecilia is a special talent, and its notjust because of her voice, which is of course glorious, and especially for her age as well. she...

She had to iron on her own clothes before going onstage because nobody would do it for her. it was seen as beneath people to service somebody from that background. but she created such a stir when she was on stage and broke through many barriers. it is very important that we embrace diversity, not least because it sits within a tradition of diversity on our stage. we are proud of the fact that singers of colour were performing on our stage right back to the 19505, 1960s, �*70s, some really fam...
