At 17 she won Talentville USA, a nationwide talent contest sponsored by Coca Cola - the equivalent today to America’s/Britain’s Got Talent - culminating in finals in New York, but she chose instead to go to Indiana University to study for a degree in music before joining the Metropolitan Opera National Company and subsequently touring all over the United States and Canada. However, her love for Musical Theatre totally overwhelmed that of her love for opera…and a very happy career in musicals has followed. She arrived in London in 1971 to star as Magnolia in SHOW BOAT with Dame Cleo Laine at the Adelphi Theatre - the show was such a smash-hit that it ran for a then-record 2 years and 3 months. The production was recorded and presented on the Tony Awards as the best International production of that season. Lorna fell in love with London, staying in the UK to star in many musicals (SIDE BY SIDE BY SONDHEIM, HELLO DOLLY! (with Danny La Rue), and THE KING AND I among them), the European premiere of CLOSER THAN EVER, SEVEN DEADLY SINS in Monaco’s Princes Grace Theatre, concerts in all the major London venues (Barbican, Royal Festival Hall, Royal Albert Hall, Palladium, Theatre Royal Drury Lane) and worldwide with the major symphony orchestras with conductors Skitch Henderson and Don Pippin (Carnegie Hall, New York Town Hall, Brisbane Cultural Center, Napa Valley Opera House), the Hong Kong Arts Festival, extensive television appearances including The Royal Variety Performance and her own highly rated BBC series, MY SERENADE and LORNA DALLAS. . .MY MUSICAL WORLD.  http://WWW.LORNADALLAS.COM

Lillias White and Lorna Dallas

Lorna Dallas has performed for every member of the British Royal Family. She's worked with The Metropolitan Opera, Bob Hope and Barry Manilow for which she was nominated for an Emmy. She came to London to star in the revival of Showboat with Cleo Laine and remained here to star in The King and I, Kismet, Side By Side By Sondheim and many more. The New York Observer said her voice “wraps itself around theatrical gems with the warmth of a mink stole,” and John Dankworth called her, “one if the very finest American vocalists of her style and generation”.In this interview we talk about her work in musical theatre, chatting with Jackie Stewart on Concorde, and what to wear when having lunch with Yul Brynner.
