Opera Prelude : “Il Nous Faut de L’Amour”

A masterclass and discussion morning with Dame Felicity Lott and Phoebe Haines (mezzo) accompanied by Maria Levandovskaya.

Today’s masterclass and discussion celebrates the recent launch of Dame Felicity’s book “Il nous faut de l’amour” (co-written with Olivier Bellamy).

During the first half of the morning, Phoebe will have the great privilege of interviewing Dame Felicity, delving into her history as one of the great exponents of the Strauss, Mozart and Offenbach operatic repertoire. Whilst not forgetting the incredible and palpable effect she has had on our art song heritage

After the break, we will look back to the Belle Epoque, in the presence of the divine Dame Felicity Lott, soprano and chanteuse of international acclaim when Phoebe will have the immense honour of working with her on arias from a range of Offenbach's oft-misunderstood operettas, La Perichole and La Belle Helene.
Opera Prelude is a small charity passionate about supporting young professional opera singers who give lecture recitals in London. These friendly and inclusive events will introduce you to the international opera singers of tomorrow by way of recitals, concerts and masterclasses.
