This means that will be travelling to Germany to take up a one year contract with Hessisches Staatstheater Wiesbaden in June 2009. Of course, this website will be kept updated with any news that happens over there when I get the time. I am also doing another Messiah
in Port Fairy after Christmas. Details on the gig guide as always.
Until next post... I am doing a round of Messiahs, a concert of Trial by Jury and will be joining the chorus of Opera Australia for their production
of Otello in November after I finish touring Cinderella with OzOpera Schools company.. I am continuing to tour in OzOpera's production of Cinderella to enthusiastic children around Victoria. Its been a busy month - have performed Anna Amalia's Erwin and Elmira and Victorian Opera's Puccini Concert in February
and rehearsed for the OzOpera schools tour since then. Coming up is a performance of Handel's Messiah with the Monash University
Choral Society.
Sadly, last week I heard that Lyric Opera have cancelled the productions of Dido and Aeneas and La Fille du Regiment (in which I
was going to play Tonio).

Have been offered a role in a semi-staged IOpera production of Russian composer Fleishman's only opera, Rothschild's Violin.
Rothschild was Shostakovich's favourite student and was unfortunately killed in the second world war before he could complete the
opera. Shostakovich completed the orchestral arrangement of this 30 minute chamber opera. The performance will take place as part of
the Port Fairy Spring festival.
