Dame Felicity’s illustrious operatic journey began in 1974 with her debut as Seleuce in Handel’s Tolomeo at the City of London Festival. Over her remarkable career spanning decades, she brought to life works by composers such as Richard Strauss, Schubert, and Mozart. In recognition of her outstanding contributions to music, she was honored by Queen Elizabeth II with the title of Dame in 1996.https://gloucestershiredaily.co.uk/rivals-title-card-explained-remembering-dame-jilly-cooper/Fri, 15 May 2026 09:37:56 +0000https://gloucestershiredaily.co.uk/rivals-title-card-explained-remembering-dame-jilly-cooper/The first three episodes of Rivals season 2 have premiered on Disney+, with the debut episode concluding with a heartfelt dedication to the late Dame Jilly Cooper.
