Michael Lampard
Michael Robert Garth Lampard (born March 1986) is an Australian opera singer, conductor and composer born in Hobart, Tasmania. Education and early acclaim Lampard undertook vocal study from a young age and acquired early notoriety as a boy soprano, performing in national broadcasts and with the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra.
