问题 Operatunity
1 Operatunity is a TV talent show for amateur opera singers. The winners get the chance to sing with the English National Opera. When two housewives, Denise Leigh and Jane Gilchrist won in 2002, their lives changed forever. As they sang Verdi's Rigoletto at the coliseum (音乐厅)in Rome, they were transformed from working mothers into opera celebrities (名人) .
2 "I live in the village I was born in," says Denise, who is blind. "Lots of my neighbors are family, and my life is all about my three children." Jane, who worked as a cleaner and a shop assistant, was in a similar situation. She says, "all I had to look forward to was seeing my four children grow up, and I love that, but... you think 'there must be more to life'. Winning Operatunity has opened up avenues I never knew existed."
3 "This last year has been amazing, " Denise continues. "Last month was Paris, before that we were recording at Abbey Road, in London, and recently we had our album launch at the Royal Opera House." "We've been treated like princesses," laughs Jane, ".... champagne, chocolates, five-star hotels..."
4 But it wasn't all so easy. For Denise, the worst part was waiting at the beginning. "After I'd sent in my application form,I worried for a month. Then I had to wait ten days after my first audition (试唱) . That was awful." Even when they won the competition they were allowed to tell their close family but they weren't allowed to tell anyone else until later. Denise and Jane also found the travelling difficult. They couldn't take their children with them while they were away singing, so they had to organize childcare. However, there's been no problem with the physical side of singing: "we didn't have to worry about that as we've had lost of help and wonderful voice training," says Jane. They also had to learn to deal with the media. "The kids loved the fact that they could stay up and watch us on TV, but just couldn't understand why some newspapers were more interested in the fact I divorced at 21, rather than the fact I had just sung at the Coliseum," says Denise.
