Born in Thorne, near Doncaster, in 1955, Garrett has been responsible for introducing opera to a much wider audience.

The daughter of a railwayman who become a school master, Garrett has needed all her father鈥檚 determination to carve out a successful career.

Lesley Garrett
Garrett lost her voice in the mid 80s. Thankfully, she's back to strength now.

After spending six years at the Royal Academy of Music studying to be a Soprano, Garrett debuted at the Wexford Festival before joining the English National Opera in 1984.

Garrett鈥檚 battling qualities were needed after the break-up of her first marriage, and even more so when she lost her voice in the mid 1980s.

Her voice restored in 1985, Garrett made the transition from opera singer to pop star with the release of albums Diva!, Prima Donna and Simple Gifts.

Another release, Soprano in Red, won the 1996 Gramophone award for best-selling classical album of the year.

More recently, forays into television such as Viva La Diva! and Lesley Garrett Tonight have complimented Garrett's work with The Royal Opera and English National Opera.

Lesley performed at the Queen's Golden Jubilee Concert, but still maintains strong links with her home town - supporting Doncaster's bid to become a city, and performing at events to raise money for local theatres.
