Jonathan Veira is an internationally acclaimed bass baritone opera singer, who’s performed across the globe with various companies including Glyndebourne, The Royal Opera House, Covent Garden and The Royal Danish Opera Company. His performances in operatic comedy roles have thrilled audiences at home and abroad but JV sings much more than opera alone. This multi-skilled entertainer with a range as big as his heart and character has performed across the globe to great reviews both in opera and in his own one-man show. He's also well known in the Christian community for his Christian and gospel albums. There’s no doubt about it, he’s a very funny and supremely talented guy and in this double length podcast the guys chat about JV meeting his wife, Sue, winning a competition which launched his operatic career, debilitating illness in 1989, recovery and playing Falstaff in Copenhagen through to his recent kidney transplant. You won't want to miss a second.Support the show

Jonathan is a wonderfully talented singer and pianist, capable of singing an extraordinarily broad range of styles. He started his professional singing career as an opera singer, performing to great acclaim around the world. However, he loved singing and playing such a broad range of songs that he gradually grew his own One Man Show alongside the opera and in recent years the solo shows have become his sole way of performing - a regular 50 dates in a year was not unusual. Accompanying himself on piano or guitar, he also used his comedic talents to keep people enthralled, inspired and highly entertained.

Jonathan Veira - The God Cast Interview

Jonathan Viera has performed across the globe in a variety of roles and musical styles from Mozart through to John Adams. He's also well known in the Christian community for his Christian and gospel albums. In this interview with Premier's Simon Tuck, Jonathan chats about his upbringing in the Plymouth Brethren, how his faith has developed over time and his recent health struggles. Speaking from experience, he also says many church leaders need to stop worrying about their sermons and start prioritising pastoral care. Reflecting on his long, varied and successful career, he says, "Someone like me doesn't normally end up in opera...I remember standing in Downing Street thinking my father could never have conceived of this". But fame comes and goes, and he says it's something he's learned to hold onto lightly. The Profile is brought to you in association with Premier Christianity magazine. Subscribe now for £4.95/month
