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 half a 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 Queens Jubilee celebrations.
OperaBabes have performed in concert with the world..s leading Orchestra..s including the Philharmonia, the Halle, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, the BBC Concert Orchestra, the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, the London Symphony Orchestra, the Berlin Symphony Orchestra and many more.
They perform regularly at all of Britains major venues, indoor and out,
from the Royal Albert Hall to Leeds Castle and their numerous television appearances range from Good Morning America in the US to GMTV.
They have been the subject of 3 documentaries, 2 in the UK for ITV and the 3rd in the US for CBS.
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 award winning producer Noel Vine to overwhelming critical acclaim.

After you've finished here, you may like to hear this folk-carol on myspace... Poem 230 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (see my blog for details): CHRISTMAS SUNG SIMPLY
As gospellers have said, Beneath signalling skies, On land dusty to tread, A trough in a stable Was the strawy first-bed Of a divine baby - The forgiving Godhead.
A season for new hope - There then and here now; The yuletide of goodwill - There then and here now.
In respect of this chance, Beneath bright or dark skies, Faith's the star that we glance Attending Christ's churches And trying to enhance, With singing and ritual, Our God-loving stance.
