The Mormon Tabernacle Choir’s Christmas concerts will have a British flair yet again. Following his countrymen Martin Jarvis, Jane Seymour, Michael York, Claire Bloom and Angela Lansbury (not to mention Irish actor Roma Downey and Welshman John Rhys-Davies), actor Hugh Bonneville — best-known for his six seasons as Robert, Earl of Grantham, on “Downton Abbey” — will narrate this year’s shows.
What will his role in Salt Lake City entail? “I know it’s always a surprise, but I can say it will be pretty epic,” Bonneville said in a phone chat from his home “in the lush, green, usually damp countryside” of West Sussex.
