About Pretty:
Pretty
Yende is a sensational young South African soprano whose career has
risen to the top of the opera world with unparalleled speed within the
past few years. Born in 1985 in the small town of Piet Retief, about two
hundred miles from Johannesburg, Yende’s journey to become one of the
world’s most sought-after singers is like a modern fairy-tale. She was
initially introduced to singing in a manner familiar to many South
Africans - in her church choir. Then at the age of sixteen, she heard
the Flower Duet from Lakmé on a British Airways television
advertisement, and was so enraptured by its beauty that she determined
to find out what it was. On learning that it was opera, she decided at
that moment to abandon her plans to become an accountant, and train to
become an opera singer instead. Pretty Yende’s debut album A Journey is available now. She is currently starring in Romeo and Juliet at the Metropolitan Opera through next week.
