GRACE LOVELASS, GLITZ, GLAMOUR & BLOWING RASPBERRIES – FESTIVE EDITION!
We welcome to our December and Christmas event Grace Lovelass, an operatic mezzo-soprano, and a long-distance triathlete.
Grace is an energetic and a versatile entertainer and she has written and produced three comedy music shows, the most recent “Ballgowns & Bib Shorts – the musical memoir of an opera-singing triathlete” which was developed with the support of the Lighthouse – Poole and Mayflower Studios and premiered at Dorchester Arts in February and at Shaftesbury Arts Centre in September.
Grace was formerly a public relations manager. She embarked on a second career in music after joining a group of amateur players who performed variety shows in a gaslit cinema. Rediscovering a childhood love for the stage, she took private lessons and made her classical/operatic debut at the Bournemouth Music Competitions Festival in 2015. Grace is also a trained dancer who has competed in Ballroom and Latin at the Blackpool Tower Ballroom, as well as being an artist, drawing and painting in graphite and watercolours.
