Biography
Lesley Garrett is one of the best loved and most down-to-earth personalities in British music. She performs solo or with full orchestra, with a repertoire ranging from operatic favourites to West End showtunes and crowd pleasing anthems.
After graduating from the Royal Academy, the Doncaster diva lent her soaring and passionate soprano to Glyndebourne and Wexford. She joined the English National Opera and produced memorable performances in The Marriage of Figaro and Die Fledermaus before eventually taking a seat on the board of directors.
Lesley has always worked to popularise opera whilst retaining critical approval. She has graced the top of both classical and pop album charts, as well as playing her part on the Children in Need single Perfect Day. Turns on Strictly Come Dancing and Celebrity Fame Academy have broadened her appeal even further.
With a repertoire ranging from oratorio to Broadway, she attracts invitations to perform at special events across the globe, including three FA Cup finals. She also helped break box office records as Mother Abbess in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s revival of The Sound of Music, wowing audiences with her outstanding vocal power.
“The audience was mesmerised with Lesley's performance.”
Please convey my effusive thanks to Lesley and Nick for taking part in the GFWI Christmas Concerts held on Wednesday.I have received phone calls and e- mails from members who thoroughly enjoyed themselves and there was a glowing report on Gloucestershire Radio yesterday morning. Lesley's dresses were wonderful and my favourite was the green dress.
Now we have reached such a high standard how do I follow this next year?
Once again my grateful thanks to Lesley for joining us. I don't think the WI Choir will ever forget the occasion.
Probaby the best 'act' I have ever booked. We used Lesley Garrett at a black tie dinner for our brokers and she was simply amazing. The effect that her appearance had on the audience was spell binding. She is an enormous name to bring to any corporate event, and her performance was of the very highest quality, leaving tingles down the spine.
She's also really nice to work with and very charming.
