Juliana Hall composed her monodrama Godiva as a gift for admired English mezzo-soprano Kitty Whately, who premiered Godiva on September 27, 2019 at the Beverley Chamber Music Festival in Yorkshire, UK, with pianist Libby Burgess. Godiva is based on the legendary Lady Godiva, and sets a libretto by Caitlin Vincent. Whately later performed Godiva at England's Theatrebarn and at the 2019 Oxford Lieder Festival. American mezzo-soprano Loralee Songer and pianist Perry Mears performed the U.S. premiere on October 14, 2019 at Carnegie Hall's Weill Recital Hall.
