On Saturday March 1st, 2003, Jane Gilchrist and Denise Leigh shared the lead role in Verdi's Rigoletto at the London Coliseum, with English National Opera. This kind of experience is a magical one for any professional performer, but Jane and Denise were not professionals. Instead they were the winners of Operatunity, Channel 4's critically acclaimed arts series that set out to find raw opera talent. For Jane and Denise, the high glamour of the occasion was in sharp contrast to their daily lives - Denise (who is registered blind) is a housewife looking after her three children, whilst until recently Jane, a mum of four, worked on checkouts at her local Tesco. Operatunity: The Winners' Story takes up the story from the very morning after the night of their lives. |
