On Friday, we will be launching our new occasional series of podcasts with an interview with Lesley Garrett. Formerly a principal soprano with the English National Opera, Lesley is now a member of the ENO Board of Directors and a passionate supporter of the organisation. Her career has further diversified into CD recording, TV and radio presenting and now, playing the Mother Abbess in The Sound of Music, into musical theatre.
Returning to the studio for the first time in three years, her new album When I Fall In Love (her first with her new label, Universal Classics & Jazz) is a collection of classic tunes from the stage and screen.
We’ll provide you with ways to listen to the interview online, to download it to your PC or to subscribe to this, and all future, podcasts via iTunes and other podcast services, from Friday.
I watched the Heaven and Earth show on Sunday purely to see Lesley, so I'm looking forward to this.
