蜜芽传媒 Radio Leeds and Bradford City AFC fans join together to form a Bantam of the Opera choir.
Meet the choir
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.
