Hitting high notes gives £10k boost for charity
HOPE AGAINST CANCER EVENT A BIG SUCCESS
OVER £10,000 has been raised for a city charity at a night at the opera.
The money was raised earlier this month at a sold-out night of opera, with proceeds going to Leicester’s Hope Against Cancer.
Taking place at Lumbers of Leicester jewellers, the evening featured British-Ukrainian mezzo-soprano Rozanna Madylus.
Rozana has been singing for over a decade. After studying at the Royal Academy of Music, she became a member of the Royal Academy Opera and Academy Song Circle.
A multi-award winner, her repertoire covers opera staples such as The Magic Flute, Rigoletto and The Barber of Seville.
Other singers featured on the night included soprano Julia Sitkovetsky, baritone Ross Ramgobin and tenor Alexander Aldren.
One of the organisers said: “This year’s opera offering was a huge success.
“On top of the fantastic amount of money raised, it was an evening for the Leicestershire community to come together in support of a great cause.
“Various companies sponsored different parts of the night. Law firm Glynis Wright and Co were the headline sponsors, with property consultancy Pick Everard sponsoring the Juice Creative supported the event sponsors of the night included 360 evening’s drinks. Design agency through sponsoring print. Other Autoleasing, Kazzoo IT, Virtual

Hope chief executive Nigel Rose said: “I’m so incredibly proud of the Leicestershire community – all Hope supporters in their own right – for coming together and making this a night to remember.
“It’s been a marvellous evening of culture and celebration, which has raised an extraordinary amount of money for Hope Against Cancer.”
