With over 30 years of experience performing in the worlds of opera, musicals, television, radio, and concerts, Lesley has won both critical acclaim and the affection of music lovers and fans from across the world.

“Lesley Garrett is a singing whirlwind. She sweeps fans in her wake and gives them the exciting ride they want.” - BBC Music Magazine

“A natural effervescent and powerhouse voice.” - Financial Times

Lesley has recently returned to English National Opera for the world premiere production of Nico Muhly’s ‘Marnie’. In 2018 she appeared with Welsh National Opera in another world premiere, creating the role of Emcee in ‘Rhonda Rips It Up!’ — based on the life of suffragette Margaret Haig Thomas (Lady Rhondda) and Spring 2019 saw her create another new role in ENO’s world premiere of Iain Bell’s opera, ‘Jack the Ripper’ at the Coliseum.

“She cares about the people who come to hear her sing... Through her records and her unstuffy attitude to singing, she has clearly reached out to music lovers far beyond the rarified confines of the opera house.” - Sunday Times

“Garrett is of course, a natural communicator and just about the best ambassador for opera.” - The Times

Accompanying Lesley will be Anna Tilbrook, who is one of Britain’s most exciting pianists, with a considerable reputation in song recitals and chamber music. She

made her debut at the Wigmore Hall in 1999 and has since become a regular performer at Europe’s major concert halls and festivals, as well as coaching regularly

for the Royal Opera, Covent Garden. Join Lesley and Anna for an evening of song, reminiscence, and chat.
