In the late 1990’s American star soprano Jessye Norman made a call to the Birmingham Copthorne Hotel. On the other end of the line was British composer Dame Judith Weir. "How would you like to write a solo concert work for me…?"  And so, with luminary writers Maya Angelou, Clarissa Pinkola Estés and Toni Morrison, woman.life.song was born, later premiering at Carnegie Hall New York in 2000. 25 years later and in association with Kiri Te Kanawa Foundation (UK) and ACE, Birmingham Opera Company brings the work home.

Join as an audience member on an extraordinary journey into Judith Weir’s woman.life.song filled with Brummie pride and talent as chorus, actors, dancers, star soloists Gweneth Ann Rand and Madison Nonoa and a cracking creative team led by director Madeleine Kludje and conductor Alpesh Chauhan OBE.
