Dame Kiri Te Kanawa is one of the great opera singers of modern times. She made her breakthrough performance in 1971 at London's Covent Garden and sang at the wedding of Prince Charles and Princess Diana ten years later, a performance which brought her to the attention of millions of people around the world.
