Dudu Fisher

Dudu Fisher was born in Israel and began his singing career as a cantor, having studied under the tutelage of the great Shlomo Ravitz. After completing his studies he worked as cantor at the Great Synagogue of Tel Aviv, on Allenby Street, followed by four years in South Africa.

Dudu's superb voice soon brought him to the attention of communities worldwide, particularly in the United States, and he soon became known as one of the leading cantors in the world.

Dudu's move into show business started after a visit to the British production of 'Les Miserables', the great musical of the 1980's, which was breaking all box office records in London. He was so impressed by the show that he saw it on four consecutive nights and returned to Israel with a burning desire to star in the Israeli production, only to be told that all the roles had been cast. His persistence paid off, however, and he was offered the starring role of Val jean in the Hebrew version of the musical. Dudu excelled in the role and became a star overnight.

Fisher's success brought him international recognition and he was invited to London to perform his role at a royal performance attended by Queen Elizabeth ll. Dudu's royal variety performance - the first by an Israeli artist - was followed by an invitation to assume the role of Valjean on Broadway.

Dudu has also toured Israel with "Over the Rainbow", singing forty Broadway show tunes! He has also performed with the Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Zubin Mehta, on French television. He is a leading candidate for the role of Valjean in the upcoming movie version of 'Les Miserables'. Another ambition is to adapt 'Phantom of the Opera' for the Israeli stage and subsequently play the leading role on Broadway.

Dudu Fisher is a virtuoso performer and his magnificent voice has established his reputation as Israel's foremost lyric singing star.
