Jacques Snyman: counter tenor, rugby player, muscle man

Think countertenors aren’t manly?
Then meet Jacques Snyman.

He’s played rugby and in 2009 was finalist in the Mr. Gay South Africa contest. Most of his time lately, it seems, has been pumping iron and practicing high notes.

He’s apparently looking for American gigs to promote and raise funds for the “It Gets Better” campaign against bullying. Could there possibly be anyone in the States willing to put him up for a night or two?

There’s a thoughtful interview with Snyman at the blog “Taminophile” (a bel canto bear in a verismo world).

    Jacques Snyman has an incredibly beautiful voice! Many people don’t realize the sheer amount of strength and work required to be a decent countertenor. I am highly impressed! And, it matches well with his charming good looks (woof!) and personality! Thank you for helping to redefine the role of “masculine!”
