Operatunity Beckons Woman With RP
Denise Leigh, a 33-year-old mother of three who has retinitis pigmentosa, realised a dream after winning UK Channel 4's Operatunity TV series and performing at the English National Opera:
Mrs Leigh, who was born with the genetic condition retinitis pigmentosa, learns musical scores by imagining notes as colours. Her education authority told her that she should aim for a job as a telephonist and Mrs Leigh says that her first husband derided her musical ambitions.
