Christopher Cameron

This week we are delighted to have Christopher Cameron join us for another visit. Christopher Cameron enjoyed a successful career as a professional opera singer, retiring in 2009 after 33 years in the business. A dozen years ago he began a new career as a freelance writer and editor. His first book, a memoir of his singing years, Dr.Bartolo’s Umbrella and Other Tales from my Surprising Operatic Life (Seraphim Editions), was published in 2017. His book of humorous fiction, Thorneside Stories: A Mix of Sun and Cloud (Iguana Books), was published in September 2022. This past fall, his one-act play Nail Polish – originally presented at the 2022 NFOTA – was performed at the Newmarket International Festival of One Act Plays, where its cast won a special award for their performance. He has written for and performed at Westben Centre for Connection and Creativity through Music, most recently a two-part presentation on hearing loss and music, a topic on which he has written extensively.
