I have been so privileged to work with several opera companies, seeing budding artists hone their craft. On top of university degree, casting for as many roles as possible to get practice and build profile, competitions and Scholarhips. Making the inevitable journey to further develop overseas in Europe, in UK, where the opera scene is much bigger and prestigious and work to make a living, and drum up donnors to support their dream, dream of a career in opera.
In addition to being publishded digitally on waebsites, a number of pics over the years have been published in magazine and in newspaper. Here is an example at
The Border Mail.
So proud to see Kate Amos on TV singing at Woolworths Carols in the Domain for Christmas. I am sure her mother and sisters and whole family would be so proud. And her opera family too. Margot and Granham and everyone how has been part of the journey.
As an Australian, to make it in opera, one needs to learn to speak fluently like a native in such as Italian, German and French. One also needs to aim to be the best, just to make it. The personal sacrifices are enormous. Their tenacity is inspiring. Love these talented, passionate and inspiring people, teachers, sponsors, patrons and organisations.
