Madlala, one of this country’s most distinguished operatic exports, is a graduate, among other leading institutions, of London’s prestigious Guildhall School of Music and Drama. He has taken part in master classes given by many of the world’s greatest singers and has worked with many leading conductors and directors.

He sang Le Calender in La Rencontre Imprevue, the bass in Mozart’s Requiem with Cheltenham Bach Choir and the King in Sallinen’a The King Goes Forth To France.
He has recently appeared in Britain with Glyndebourne Opera Company on tour. Future plans include The Cardiff International Academy of Voice and Don Fernandes for Opera Holland Park in 2010.
