Seeing that made me understand how profound the drama of opera was and how music theatre is the most powerful audiovisual form there is.
I performed in Sydney some years ago for the Sydney Festival and I am just so pleased to be returning to the wonderful Sydney Opera House and also performing in Melbourne for the first time.
As far as I was concerned the important thing was that the music was getting the attention as well as me so it was always a great way to get more of the public to connect with classical music, and opera particularly.
To tell you the truth, I never listen to opera at home.
Opera is credible drama now, and it costs less than going to a football match. What have you got to lose?
