opera babes - renaissance

Everyone by now knows Britain’s own “Operababes” Rebecca Knight and Karen England. Their meteoric rise to fame began in 2001 when, after busking in Covent Garden to support their singing lessons, the two exquisite song birds were discovered by a talent scout who invited them to perform at the FA Cup Final, televised to 500 million people across the globe, and the UEFA Champions League final in Milan. A record company bidding war began, and the OperaBabes were born.

The girls went on to release their debut album Beyond Imagination which went straight to No.1 in the UK Classical Charts, staying there for 11 weeks and selling in excess of 1 million copies, and hit No.4 in the US billboard charts. The magnificent twosome subsequently went on to perform at the Royal Albert Hall for her Majesty the Queen on many occasions including at the Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall, the launch of the Commonwealth Games at Buckingham Palace and the Prom at the Palace for the Queen’s Jubilee celebrations.

Taking America by storm, they recently performed with Placido Domingo at Los Angeles Opera and made history by becoming the first classical act ever to perform in Las Vegas at the legendary Stardust Casino.
They have just released their eagerly awaited second album “Renaissance” produced by Noel Vine to overwhelming critical acclaim. JMRL
