Britain's What's On Event Guide
Goosfest 24 Whattalife - Kathleen Ferrier
Whattalife - Kathleen Ferrier. Tells the story of the great English contralto and follows her journey from housewife to household name. Just like Kathleen during her short but full life, the show has a great sense of fun and talks straight from the heart.
Performed by contralto Lucy Stevens with pianist Elizabeth Marcus, sung music from Kathleen’s repertoire is woven through the text including What is Life and Blow the Wind Southerly.
The show celebrates her brilliance, on and off stage, with witty dialogue which is funny and revealing. Lucy Stevens performance embodies the spirit of Kathleen, transporting the audience from her Lancashire debut in 1940, through her meteoric rise in The Rape of Lucretia at Glyndebourne to her final tragic performance as Orfeo at the Royal Opera House in 1953.
