Extempore
'The story of the opera star Edgar Evans combines coincidence with a capacity for hard work that, in itself, would make an acceptable plot for an opera.
Best remembered for creating the role of Hermann in Tchaikovsky's The Queen of Spades at the Royal Opera House, Edgar Evans sang some 45 roles - most of them major ones - at Covent Garden from 1946 - 1975. In that time, he sang more roles and more performances at the Opera House than any other artist.'
