Description
Norman Platt's life in music spans over five decades, from his early beginnings as a professional musician at just nine years old. His journey took him to prestigious institutions such as King's College Cambridge and St Paul's Cathedral, where he sang alongside renowned choirs. At the heart of this story is the Kent Opera Company, which Norman Platt co-founded in 1969. The company featured notable conductors like Roger Norrington and directors like Jonathan Miller and Nicholas Hytner. However, Platt's outspoken battles against funding policies made him enemies in high places, ultimately threatening the company's survival. This book, published in 2001, offers a unique insight into Norman Platt's life in music, providing a fascinating account of his experiences and the realities of the arts in the modern world.
