Lesley Garrett is Britain’s best known soprano, regularly appearing in opera, music theatre, concert, on television and CD. For more than 30 years she has enjoyed one of the most successful and idiosyncratic careers of any modern-day, classically trained soprano, winning both critical acclaim and the affection of many fans and music lovers through the breadth and diversity of her work. Internationally Lesley has performed throughout Europe, the USA, Australia, Russia, Brazil, Japan, Malaysia, Taiwan and South Korea.
As a recording artist, she has fourteen solo CDs to her credit. Recent albums are Travelling Light, The Singer, So Deep is the Night and Amazing Grace. Lesley continues to perform regularly in concert with all the major UK orchestras and she has recently formed a highly successful new musical partnership with clarinettist Emma Johnson and pianist Andrew West.
Lesley made her Royal Opera debut in their production of The Merry Widow in 1997 and sang Hannah Glawari in a new production of The Merry Widow with Welsh National Opera. Keen to explore the challenging and different vocal discipline of the West End musical, Lesley has made more recent acclaimed appearances in The Sound of Music and Carousel.
