Lucy Stevens ‘Whattalife!’

A Cooper Hall Opera Club Event

We launch season 3 of our Opera Club with something rather different and special. We are delighted to welcome Lucy Stevens to perform Kathleen Ferrier Whattalife! This new one woman play with music tells the story of the great English contralto, whose voice and recordings are treasured to this day.

Just like Kathleen during her short but full life, the show has a great sense of fun and talks straight from the heart. Professional actress and contralto, Lucy Stevens has researched and created a unique and totally engaging performance. The play is written in Kathleen’s own words taken from her letters and diaries. Sung music with piano accompaniment from her repertoire is woven through the text.
