Welcome back to Diva Download, a podcast interviewing stars of the opera world. For our final interview of Season 1, Sophie and Indyana are joined by the brilliant and hilarious Scottish tenor Nicky Spence. In Part 1, Nicky charms with tales of life backstage, his quarantine music recommendations, and favourite roles to play. We discuss his early success at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama and his HUGE record contract with Decca Records, touring with Dame Shirley Bassey, and how art song can be a ‘gateway drug’ into opera for young singers.
