Lea Desandre (born 1993) is a French-Italian mezzo-soprano. Born in 1993, as a small child she first became interested in dance but at 12, prompted by her music teacher, she joined the children's choir of the Paris Opéra. Her first model was Natalie Dessay, of whom she admits to be "a superfan". Taking advantage of the availability of reduced price tickets aimed at her age range, she attended performances featuring her idol Natalie Dessay. "Thanks to these reduced price tickets I was able to go about Paris to feed myself with music" she has said. She also frequented places where her favourite opera stars got together, some of which usually gave her advice, lured by her teenage charm. She enrolled at the Boulogne-Billancourt Music School under Esthel Durand and went later to Venice to study with contralto Sara Mingardo. "She received me at her house and told me: we'll read scores and will thus end by finding who you are", comments Miss Desandre. More information...
