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.

“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.
