Last Week, Baritone Michel de Souza performed with his Jette Parker Young Artist colleagues in their end of year performance on the main stage. Michel is just finishing his first year on the Programme, during which he has made his Royal Opera debut and understudied some main roles. Performing Papageno on the main stage is a long way from singing in a boys’ choir in Brazil, a journey which included a spell at Scottish Opera, trying out big roles like Prince Andrei inWar and Peace, so I was keen to discover more about his background and what he has learnt in his time in London.
