Tomorrow the Rhinemaidens head off to try to find the gold for the very last time, for our final GΓΆtterdΓ€mmerung with Opera Australia.

Jane Ede - Soprano, Dominica Matthews - mezzo soprano and I thought we would do a (very tongue in cheek) remake of the original promotional pic. Do you like it? Personally, I think we nailed it πŸ˜‚

A huge congratulations to the entire crew, production team, performers, orchestra, administration, technical teams, and everyone behind the scenes, that helped to finally get this epic set of operas on to the stage at QPAC. It has been a joy to work alongside you all! πŸ’›πŸ§œβ€β™€οΈπŸ§œβ€β™€οΈπŸ§œβ€β™€οΈπŸ’›

What a fun concert this evening with Opera Queensland, with just one more concert tomorrow afternoon at 2pm!

Here's a little hotel room session with one of the songs from the recital (we do some classical too, but also some like this!) Of course Alex Raineri Pianist is far superior to this backing track - he is such a joy to work with! πŸ’•

If you're in Brisbane tomorrow and free, then come join us at the movies! 🎦🎢

Reaching For The Moon | Smule 22/06/2023

What to do when Opera Queensland let you put together a recital program? You sing a whole lot of songs that you love, of course!

I'm super excited to do this recital with so many wonderful songs from the movies. Including this amazing song by Irving Berlin from 1930 - 'Reaching for the moon', which I did a little impromptu recording of tonight in my hotel room.

There are still some tickets, so if you're in Brisbane then do come and join us! The AMAZING Alex Raineri Pianist is sounding just divine on the Kawai Australia concert grand 🎢😍

I'll freely admit that I was a bit nervous about straying so far from what I have sung for the majority of my career, but so grateful that Guy Noble and the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra gave me the opportunity to perform this wonderful music!

On Tuesday I had the absolute pleasure of attending Opera Queensland's double bill of La voix humaine and The Call with the splendid bass David Hibbard as my date. Isn't he dapper?! 😍

These operas are just the most extraordinary pieces, performed by the most incredible artists Ali McGregor and Alexandra Flood... and I am also in absolute awe of conductor Zoe Zeniodi - Conductor/Pianist and the fabulous Queensland Symphony Orchestra. And huge congratulations to Patrick Nolan for the superb direction and wonderful programming!!! πŸ‘πŸ˜

I was profoundly moved, there were tears shed. DO NOT MISS these performances - there are only two shows left in Brisbane QPAC tomorrow night, and Friday night. πŸ₯‚πŸΎ 🎢

Today we performed the Australian premiere of 'Last First-Light' by wonderful composer Anne Cawrse, with libretto by Peter Goldsworthy. It's a really special piece, and such a privilege to be a part of it.

Tomorrow I get to sing Strauss' Vier letzte Lieder, and I couldn't be more excited about singing these incredible songs with such a wonderful ensemble of players, led by the superlative playing of Andrew Haveron. Spoilt much?! 🎻🎢

How satisfying it is to be making music with such fabulous people! πŸ’•

So sad that Opera Australia is unable to continue with it planned performances of these operas. Hoping that we will have an opportunity to join together again in the not-too-distant future. Much love to all who poured their heart and soul into trying to make these performances happen.

PERFORMANCE UPDATE: We're sad to announce that all upcoming performances of the Ring Cycle and Aida in Brisbane have been postponed due to COVID travel restrictions.

This is hugely disappointing news, but we are committed to re-scheduling these spectacular productions so that the seven years of planning that has already gone into this project won't go to waste. Ticketholders will be contacted regarding their options.

We thank all of our partners, artists, audiences and devoted supporters, and look forward to performing these great operatic works in the future.

And hot off the press today... the Adelaide Festival is mounting Brett Dean's Hamlet, directed by Neil Armfield in March 2018!! Incredibly excited to be a part of this, and the opportunity to work with this 'dream team' again. The brilliant cast will include many of the original cast members from the Glyndebourne premiere, but will also feature my amazing Australian colleagues Cheryl Barker, Samuel Sakker - Tenor, Jud Arthur and Douglas McNicol.
