Sir Willard White is a man of many parts. One of the most distinguished and charismatic international opera singers of the last four decades, this sensational Jamaican-born Bass-Baritone began his European career with Welsh National Opera in Cardiff. Wales has remained close to his heart ever since.

Willard's connection to the life and music of Paul Robeson gives this particular evening a special resonance for Welsh audiences. Paul Robeson forged a deep and lasting bond with the people of Wales, especially with the Welsh mining community and shared the values of "peace, equality and abundance for all."

With singer and BBC broadcaster Beverley Humphreys, Sir Willard reminisces about his life on stage and screen, sings songs that have shaped his journey: from the Nat King Cole classics of his Kingston childhood, through the landmark 1976 recording of Gershwin's Porgy and Bess, to the songs that made Paul Robeson one of the icons of the 20th century.

An extraordinary evening of story, song, and shared heritage.
