Naked Opera Singer Tased by Police After Terrorising Care Home

After breaking into song while terrorising a care home, a naked opera singer was tasered by police, a court heard.

The incident occurred 16 years ago during Artsfest 2007 in Birmingham, UK.

Mark Holland, 63, amused spectators with his open-air performance, but things took a dangerous turn when he allegedly broke into a care home and began to sing naked while armed with a bow and arrow.

According to the court, police were called to the scene and used a taser to subdue Holland. He will appear in court at a later date to face charges related to the incident.

Despite the serious nature of the charges, Holland's past performances, repertoire, and video gallery can be viewed on Operabase.
