11 Lessons on Being Loud (from an American Opera Singer)

Have you ever failed to stand up for yourself? Do you wonder where comedians get their confidence? Do you secretly dream of being a Manifesting Babe? Opera singer and comedian Steph DePrez returns with a show about dreams, risks, and how exactly Americans learn how to be so… loud.

After a successful run of shows at EdFringe 2023, Steph’s new musical comedy cabaret explores class, confidence, and what it takes to cut through the noise. Like last year’s well-reviewed show “The Opera Comedy Show,” Steph weaves her stories in between opera arias, Gospel hymns, and jazz standards “performed with the gravitas afforded by possessing a diaphragm like a blacksmith’s bellows” (The Wee Review).

‘Rambunctiously funny’ (Theatre Travels)

‘Her enthusiasm and musical skill are infectious’ (The Wee Review)

What audiences say:

‘Steph is STUNNING and the experience of watching her is a true joy.'

'Go see this show, you won’t regret it! Hilarious chats, heavenly singing. A real hidden gem.'

'An extremely talented performer who managed to take the fear out of Opera and infuse her love to the audience. Well worth a trip off the beaten track.'

'Never thought of combining stand up comedy with Opera, but Steph pulls it off beautifully! We had a ton of laughs, learned a bit about opera… Steph’s show was a hoot!'

'FANTASTIC! To take opera, something that we are all taught is uptight, and proper, and make it funny, casual and interactive, while giving beautiful, top-notch opera vocals, is something people shouldn’t miss. Treat yourself to this light hearted, amazing show! You will not regret it!'

'Saw this show yesterday and loved it! I have never been to a full opera and thought Steph brought her love of opera to life. Her fantastic voice was mesmerising. Well done Steph - we will definitely go to an opera now!!'

'An absolute hidden gem of the fringe! I knew nothing about opera and thoroughly enjoyed the show. Steph's voice and personality were incredible - an excellent blend of comedy and opera!'
