'Singing is the air that we breathe'

Zeinab Badawi goes behind the scenes at the Royal Opera House with bass-baritone Sir Bryn Terfel, one of the most distinguished opera singers of our age.

In demand on stages across the world, Bryn has stayed true to his Welsh roots and is a great proponent of Welsh culture.

Zeinab meets young singers in Wales taking part in an eisteddfod, the same local singing competitions that Bryn first performed in as a boy. She finds out how the tradition continues to encourage young talent and how Sir Bryn’s stellar career inspires them to follow in his footsteps.
