Hi folks - I've changed this post a bit now that we have some more info on what is happening on the AT show.
http://bandweblogs.com/blog/2008/08/29/the-alan-titchmarsh-show-a-night-at-the-opera-starring-johathan-ansell/
| Quote: | The Alan Titchmarsh Show is set to host ‘X Factor’ style competition to search for Britain’s newest Opera diva…
To celebrate the nation’s new love affair with the world of operatic music is the fantastic new touring show, A Night at the Opera starring Jonathan Ansell.
To compliment Jonathan’s boyish looks and sensational voice the producers of the show have undertaken a nationwide search to find the next great soprano and ‘love interest’ for A Night At The Opera.
The eight sopranos who have been picked as finalists will appear on The Alan Titchmarsh Show on Monday 1st September, 2008. They will sing before a judging panel and only four will go through to the next round. They will appear again during September and face a public vote to find two finalists, these will return to sing with Jonathan Ansell and face a final vote to find the winner. The winner will then be joined by the full cast of A Night at the Opera on the Alan Titchmarsh Show on October 27th, 2008 and star with them on the nationwide tour from 30th October to 23rd November.
Jonathan Ansell says “This is a good opportunity for a new rising soprano to come and join us, and get the chance to be part of this unique show. It’s a privilege for me to sing all these great songs every night and for a whole month; I’m looking forward to seeing who I will be singing with!”
More info.:
(Subject to change.)
On 1st September, 2008 - 8 sopranos will be on the Alan Titchmarsh show. The panel of judges whittle them to 4 by the end of programme.
Sept 15th - the 4 come back to sing, and are whittled down to 2 by public vote.
16th/19th - VT’s of the ones left.
29th - the last 2 sing with Jonathan Ansell, the public vote through the show, and the winner is announced and performs at the end of the show.
Oct 27 - the whole cast of A Night At The Opera come back on the show to perform together.
The Alan Titchmarsh Show is on ITV1 at 3pm every weekday.
The judges will be voice coach to the stars David Grant, theatre pro Ruthie Henshall and celebrity manager Jonathan Shalit. |
Love Molly xx

Just to be accurate not sure whether his appearance will actually be on Monday as they broadcast one show live and another is recorded for later in the week or even the next Monday.
So set your recorders as not sure we will know until it actually happens!
But according to the press release

According to an article posted by Willowy on the OS, 1,000 sopranos
have applied , and the audition process starts today on the Alan Tichmarsh
Show, they have been cut down to eight, a wonderful chance for one of
these singers,

We have Alan Titmarsh here in Wales today Cathy.
And Dilog has posted on the OS that there are two guests today Jonathan and David Soul - David Soul's appearance is scheduled for another day - so Jonathan must be doing the live show today.

I really enjoyed the programme today, eight sopranos sang ,and the judges wittled them down to four.
All of them were very good, but I did pick one out that I liked, but will have to wait and see her again on the programme ,when two will be chosen ,
Jonathan said he was happy with the four that the judges had chosen,
a bit scary for him really,
