Lee Bradley studied at
London's Royal Academy of
Music (as a PMF scholar) under the tuition of Joy
Mammen (her other pupils include Lesley Garret, Emma Bell and
was herself a leading lady on many occasions with
Pavarotti).
Lee started singing at the age of fifteen. Soon after, he
undertook professional studies in opera. He made his debut at
the
Winter Gardens Opera House
before a sell out audience, where he performed excerpts from
Rigoletto and Turandot to an unprecedented standing
ovation.
Since then his powerful
'heroic' tenor voice has taken
him all over the world from recitals in Italy and Russia to
concerts in the USA and Africa, to being the principal
soloist in The Last Night of The Proms in the UK.
Many of his concerts have been with some of the most famous
philharmonic orchestras including the
English National Philharmonic Orchestra, of
which he is the principal soloist.
Amongst his many engagements include: The 50,000 seat RAI
Stadium (Amsterdam), London's West End
Theatres, Manchester United FC Stadium, a standing ovation
performance to over 30,000 people, as well as a private
audience with the British Prime Minister.
Lee Bradley has had the enormous privilege of receiving
private advice and guidance from
legendary tenor Placido Domingo at the Royal
Opera House in Covent Garden. In addition to this he has
received coaching from other superstars in the world of
opera, including international leading tenor
Jóse Cura, who described his
voice as "phenomenal"!
Away from the opera stage, Lee has gained great acclaim
playing the legendary tenor Mario Lanza in the touring
production
"Singing
to the Gods". He is also a regular act
onboard many major cruise lines such as P&O Cruises.
Critics and audiences alike have taken to his warmth and
humour on and off stage and even the most discernable of
critics have described his voice as "just
stunning"!
He has received rave reviews in both Opera Magazine and Opera
Now, following his leading role in La Bohéme and
his admirers range from legendary opera singers to BAFTA
winners and TV personalities including
Des O Connor, who, following
Lee's TV appearance on his show, remarked
how bright the future looks for this 24 year old tenor.
