Lila McConigley still doesn’t know what made her raise her hand when she was ten years old and Marcia Patton asked who was trying out for the solo. One year later, Lila was on the stage at Lincoln Center in New York City singing a solo with the American Symphony Orchestra when the Casper Children’s Chorale and the Wyoming State Choir performed Carmina Burana. In the next five years, Lila studied voice with Pat Patton, wowed the judges with her pure, sweet voice, which could switch from classical to jazz to pop effortlessly. After graduating from high school, Lila went on to study music at St. Olaf College, and upon graduating, moved to New York City, landing her dream job on the children’s television show, Sesame Street.
Still greatly inspired by opera, Lila went to Florence, Italy to study with famous maestro and renowned Italian tenor, Franco Pagliacci. For the next three years, she sang all over Tuscany and became fluent in Italian. In the spring of 2003, Lila was accepted into London’s famous Royal Academy of Music’s post graduate course in Musical Theater. She graduated with distinction and went straight into her West End debut in Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Bombay Dreams, a show in which she understudied the female lead. One month later, Lila was playing the lead to a sold out audience of 2000 people. “It was amazing to meet and work with Andrew Lloyd Webber. I couldn’t believe it. I remember being a little girl sitting in a Denver audience of Phantom of the Opera. I never would have believed I would one day be starring in one of his shows!” Since leaving the show, Lila has starred in several shows, commercials, and recorded four albums. She has sung in concert with Sir Elton John, at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden. She is the regular guest Diva of famous British opera group Tenors Unlimited and has performed all over Europe with them. She is married to tenor Paul Martin, and they have two wonderful children.
