I don't just come from a musical family, but from a musical community.

I don't think I have ever met a single person who isn't moved by music of some kind.

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.

I saw The Sound of Music when I was 10 and thought that it was the most beautiful singing I had ever heard.

I would just like to say that opera is no longer about fat people in breastplates shattering wine glasses.

I'm very pro presenting the best music I can to the widest audience possible.

There are a lot of unseen elements to having a successful singing career.
