Darius Campbell Revisits his Roots with Young Scottish Opera Singers

 

Singing star Darius Campbell is to pass on some pearls of professional performing wisdom to Scottish Opera’s Connect singers, ahead of their professional opera debut.

 

Darius sang with Scottish Opera as a teenager, appearing in Les Troyens with the Scottish Opera Children’s Chorus and the Company’s production of Carmen at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden. Darius also won reality TV hit Popstar to Operastar, and appeared in Carmen with the Royal Philarmonic Orchestra at London’s O2 arena. He is a critically acclaimed West End actor, and platinum-selling recording artist, and is currently leading a stellar cast in Snow White at The King’s Theatre in Glasgow.

Darius Campbell starts new trend for honest programme CVs: "Although the show was criticised for being too long, he won rave reviews ..."

 

Not sure what to make of this.

I dont understand that either. The twitter next under that says - Finally made it to Glasgow. But why has entire audience for Snow White arrived 40 min early? Queue goes round the building. He is a theatre critic, feature writer, freelance journalist who has written about the theatre in Scotland since the l980s.

lol, like that second tweet -

Darius on stv tonight

There is a mention of Stirling hogmanay i n todays Sun. but as expected not D - Around 5,000 people packed into Glasgow's George Square for The Bells while X Factor's Wagner wowed party-goers in Stirling by performing in a kilt. There is also a big picture of W in a kilt.

There is also a long article about him appearing there together with 2 pictures of him in THE Mail today and it says he was joined by Darius campbell. Surely that would have been publicity for D under different circumstances.l

lovely seeing D on STV, thanks megham,
