==Early life and education==
Born in South Wales, Edwards moved with his parents to England and sang in choirs as a child. He witnessed his first opera (Giuseppe Verdi's ''Un ballo in maschera'') at eleven years old when his parents took him to the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden. Seven years later, he was conducting W. S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan's operetta ''H.M.S. Pinafore'' on that same podium. Edwards played violin and trumpet through grammar school and high school but abandoned performance for conducting.
