Campbell Danesh also appeared in the first series of ITV’s Popstar To Operastar – which saw eight pop singers train to perform world-famous opera arias in 2010 – beating Bernie Nolan in the final. The show saw him duet with tenor Rolando Villazón on the song The Impossible Dream and helped him land his first major opera role, as the bullfighter Escamillo in a one-off production of Carmen at London’s O2 Arena, the first ever opera at the venue at the time.
