La Bohème debut at The Royal Albert Hall, London

On Saturday 1st March James made his debut at Royal Albert Hall as Rodolfo in Francesco Zambello's  production of La Bohème

Mark Valencia of 'Whats on stage' writes: 

'Not having access to a programme (a long story) I wasn't aware of the singer's identity until after the performance, so I assumed that Gubbay had recruited a rising star from lands afar and was preparing to beg opera companies to take note. Instead the message is far simpler: why is Essex-born James Edwards not already a hot international property? His plangent timbre, at once romantic and heroic, is a rare enough beast and makes him the ideal Italianate tenor.'
