As an opera singer I was often found at the production desk during stage rehearsals. This is the operating base for the director, lighting designer and stage manager when rehearsing an opera. The realisation that I wanted to direct as well as sing, lead to me directing operas for Opera Q (formerly Opera Queensland), Pacific Opera, Sydney Conservatorium of Music, Pacific Opera and restaging and assisting at Opera Australia. I truly love this work – especially when working with emerging artists and look forward to taking on more of it in the future.
