Description
Based on detailed historical research, this lively, witty, dramatic and highly entertaining libretto, with accompanying lyrics, tells the story of Lord Byron’s daughter Ada Byron – subsequently Ada, Countess of Lovelace.
Ada was born into privilege and wealth, but her only dream was to become an inventor and a woman of science and to have a life of the mind. Blessed with talent, energy and a remarkable scientific imagination, Ada does all she can to try to make her dreams come true.
