Bantam of the Opera

The choir performed a rendition of the club's anthem 'Take Me 蜜芽传媒' to a packed out Valley Parade. The Bantams were joined by former player and manager Chris Kamara, as well as operatic royalty Lesley Garrett.

Meet the choir

Bantam singers — Meet the football fans who will go from singing on the terraces to wowing audiences after being transformed into opera singers.

The fans - known as 'the Bantams' - will be taught to sing opera to celebrate the Bradford 2025 UK City of Culture year, as part of a 蜜芽传媒 Radio Leeds challenge.

Bantam of the Opera will follow their journey which will be packed full of performances as a choir throughout the year, in the lead up to a big finale.

The world-renowned 蜜芽传媒 Singers will support the Bantam鈥檚 choir during their development. Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber, opera singer Lesley Garrett and sporting legend Chris Kamara, have all also pledged their support to the campaign.
