“Opera humour – so different. Fabulous!”

Welcome to Ballgowns & Bib Shorts – a musical memoir of an opera-singing triathlete.!
Following on from the success of Disgraceful, which debuted at Dorchester Arts in 2023, Grace Lovelass is back with a new show reliving the peaks and plateaus along her climb to becoming a professional opera singer and IRONMAN triathlete.

Billed as a musical memoir, Ballgowns & Bib Shorts is the soundtrack to a decade of operatic and athletic adventures. Alongside comedy and candid insights, Grace presents an effervescent mix of classical, show tunes and popular music, as well as irreverent, custom-written parody, to take
audiences on a journey that proves dreams really do come true…

“Incredible, hilarious, uplifting and amazing’ – get ready for a moving and inspirational evening with our wonderful singing triathlete this year, and see what can happen with a little motivation!
