Geraint Evans
Sir Geraint Llewellyn Evans (16 February 1922 – 19 September 1992) was a Welsh baritone or bass-baritone noted for operatic roles including Figaro in ''Le nozze di Figaro'', Papageno in ''Die Zauberflöte'', and the title roles in ''Falstaff'' and ''Wozzeck''. He sang more than 70 different roles in a career that lasted from his first appearance at Covent Garden in 1948 to his farewell there in 1984.
==Early life==
Evans was born in Cilfynydd, the only son of William John Evans (1899–1978), a coal miner, and his wife, Charlotte May, ''née'' Thomas (1901–1923). His family was Welsh speaking, and Evans spoke Welsh before he learned English.〔Goodwin, Noël: "Evans, Sir Geraint Llewellyn (1922–1992)", Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004 (accessed 14 Dec 2008 )〕
On leaving school, aged 14, he worked as a window dresser for the High Class Ladies' Wear store in Pontypridd.〔''The Guardian'', 21 September 1992, p. 22〕 In his spare time, he took singing lessons in Cardiff from Idloes Owen, who went on to found the Welsh National Opera as well as singing with the local Methodist choir and the local amateur dramatic society. On the outbreak of World War II, he volunteered for the Royal Air Force; he was trained as a radio mechanic, but also took part in services entertainments.〔 After the war he worked for the British Forces Radio Network in Hamburg, where he sang with the radio chorus and took lessons from the baritone Theo Herrmann. He then studied with Fernando Carpi in Geneva and at the Guildhall School of Music in London with Walter Hyde.〔Rosenthal, Harold: "Geraint Evans", ''The New Grove Dictionary of Opera''〕〔''The Times'', 5 April 1962, p. 7〕
