WOS Radio: Edward Seckerson Talks to Sarah Tynan
Sarah Tynan is one of English National Opera’s great success stories, emerging from their Young Artist’s programme to blossom in a succession of lyric soprano roles that only the super-talented can make truly distinctive.
Her characters have ranged from a deliciously air-headed and vain Yum-Yum in The Mikado to a bold and heartbreaking portrayal of the “sacrificial lamb” Iphis in Katie Mitchell‘s extraordinary staging of Handel’s Jephtha.
In this exclusive audio podcast “ENO Talks” she takes a break from rehearsing for the first revival of Jonathan Miller‘s American mid-West setting of Donizetti’s The Elixir of Love downing tools at Adina’s Diner to chat to Edward Seckerson about what drives her.
She, of course, talks about surviving ENO’s critically mauled production of Kismet (she really shone in it) revealing that there might just have been a ‘West End girl’ lurking behind that operatic exterior.
