Countertenor Iestyn Davies

What's brewing backstage with the Orchestra?

In September 2019, Netty met up with countertenor Iestyn Davies during our run of Handel's Agrippina at the Royal Opera House, where he sang the role of Ottone.

They discuss Iestyn's archaeology degree, how you don't choose to become a countertenor, and the important role of Cathedrals in British musical life. 

Tea with Netty is the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment's podcast hosted by viola player Annette Isserlis (Netty). Over a cuppa (or something a little stronger...), Netty chats with a variety of conductors, players and other guests as she 'spills the tea' on the side of classical music you don't normally hear.

Iestyn performs with the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment in Vivaldi and Pergolesi: Sacred Baroque, touring to London, Saffron Walden, New York and Ohio in November 2019.
