Popstar to Operastar
Jimmy will be taking part in ITV1’s brand new series in which best-selling recording artists from the world of pop discover if they’ve got what it takes to perform as opera divas.
Mentored by classical hit-singer Katherine Jenkins and famed tenor Rolando Villazon, Jimmy and the other seven contestants will be trained to perform world famous opera songs – many of them learning to not only sing in a completely different style, but also a completely different language than they are used to.
After their performances the pop stars will be critiqued by a panel made up of their mentors Katherine and Rolando and two critics, international award-winning rock musician Meat Loaf together with TV presenter and Classic FM radio host Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen.
Popstar to Operastar starts on Friday 15th January ITV1 9pm and will be hosted by Myleene Klass and Alan Titchmarsh. For a chance to be in the live studio audience each week contact http://www.sroaudiences.com.
