Pretty Yende, the solo soprano from in South Africa, shares her gift with audiences around the world. Pretty was sixteen years old when she first heard opera, watching a British Airways commercial played to the "Flower Duet" from Lakmé, composed by Léo Delibes.

Her debut as Countess Adèle in Le comte Ory in New York launched her career. Since then, she has performed on opera's most prestigious stages, receiving standing ovations and breaking glass ceilings. Pretty's desire has always been to share the beauty and variety of classical music with others. For Pretty, if she can live her dream, then it is possible for others to do the same. It all begins with finding the courage to say yes.
