'Downton Abbey' Adds Real-Life Character Aug 13th 2013, 18:38, by AP LONDON — "Downton Abbey," the world's favorite country-house soap, is getting a dose of opera. Producers say soprano Kiri Te Kanawa will appear in the upcoming fourth season as real-life diva Nellie Melba. The New Zealand-born singer says "I couldn't say yes fast enough" to appearing in a show she loves – and enjoyed her time on set so much she named her new dog Abbey. Te Kanawa sang for journalists at a preview of the new season on Tuesday. In the new series, Melba – a huge star of the early 20th century – joins the aristocratic Grantham clan for a house party. The costume drama about the family and servants in an English stately home returns to British television this fall, and airs in the U.S. on PBS in January.
