Janette Miller was a singer of both musicals and opera in London West End. She worked as a soloist for Benjamin Britten who encouraged her love of Lieder and songs. The Songs of the Auvergne sung in English has been much admired . As a producer she has directed over 40 operas and ballets and one of her favorites are The Cabaret Songs of Arnold Schoenberg who also started in musical theatre. She is working on Winterreise by Schubert. Lastly in her mature years Janette Miller achieved her ambition to produce TV programmes. Being a woman this was not possible in her youth and so she wanted to encourage others to do the same. This has not been an outstanding success but Janette Miller lives in hope. YouTube lost her DIYTV Movies channel but it is still there to be seen if not managed and one day she hopes to revive it.
Janette Miller
Welcome to my world! A personal world of ballet, opera, bookbinding and gardening and interesting people with whom I have met or worked. I have mixed with princes and beggars. I have enjoyed my trip on the big blue marble. Some of it has been pretty tough.
My computers have given me the world which I love whether the world appreciates me is an open question. I have had to wait 60 years for my world and it has been worth it for now I have the freedom to express myself for I can take complete control only my technical ability holds me back and that I can cope with one click at a time.
I have to do everything,. Everything.! If you see it here I have done it. Not many people can do this. In fact in this area I seem to be a one off.
So here it is the triumphs and disasters, I chose to take the risk, I may not have climbed Everest but got quite a long way up the mountain of life .
