AFTER his performance of the title role in The Phantom of the Opera, one will never look at André Schwartz without admiration .
Andre also received the Naledi- and Fleur du Cap-awards for his portrayal of the Phantom.
This Johannesburger made his television debut at the tender age of 14 on the programme Kraaines. This experience sparked off his singing career.
