The moment your focus shifts from “How am I doing?” to “What’s happening?” there’s often a lot less room left for anxiety.

Most of a singer’s life happens away from the spotlight.

In practice rooms, at pianos, with scores covered in notes and coffee cups close at hand 🎶

A few memories from our South Australian tour of Faust.

Over the course of the tour, we travelled, rehearsed, performed, laughed, problem-solved, and somehow created a little temporary family along the way. One of the greatest joys of this profession is the people you meet and the friendships that are forged through sharing a stage.

I’m incredibly grateful to have spent these weeks with such a talented, hardworking, and generous cast, creative team, crew, and volunteers.

Thank you to our audiences across South Australia for joining us on the journey, and to everyone behind the scenes who made it possible.

A chapter I’ll remember very fondly. ❤️

Somewhere between dreaming, planning, and remembering.

Somewhere between dreaming, planning, and remembering.

One of the most famous arias ever written.

In this moment, Tosca looks back on her life and asks a question that feels painfully universal:

If I have lived with kindness, loved deeply, and devoted myself to what I believe in… why am I suffering?

🎼 Vissi d’arte (“I lived for art”) from Puccini’s Tosca

One of my final moments as Marguerite in Faust.

By this point, she has lost almost everything. Seduced and abandoned, shunned by society, having killed her child, and imprisoned to be sentenced to death herself, she is confronted one last time by Faust’s attempts to persuade her to leave with him.

Her response?

“Go. I abhor your sight.”

It’s one of the most powerful moments in the opera because it isn’t about revenge, but clarity. After everything she has endured, she finally sees him for who he is.

A few memories from our recent concert performance of Das Rheingold at in Sydney, where I sang Fricka.

This project brought together an extraordinary group of artists, and it was a privilege to share the stage with such talented colleagues. Thank you to everyone involved; our cast, creative team, orchestra, crew, and the many people working behind the scenes who made it all possible.

Opera is never created by one person. It is built through collaboration, generosity, trust, and countless hours of work from people who love what they do.

Very grateful to have been part of it. ⚡️

Learning often happens when practice becomes harder in the right way.

The goal isn’t to make practice easier.

The goal is to make it more effective.

Three months ago I packed a suitcase.

What followed was a whirlwind of flights, rehearsals, performances, friendships, late-night conversations, and memories I’ll carry with me for a long time.

From Sydney to Adelaide, from Fricka in Das Rheingold to Marguerite in Faust, this chapter reminded me why I love what I do.

Grateful to everyone who shared the stage, rehearsal room, dressing room, dinner table, and journey along the way. ❤️

By the time we understand what truly matters, life has usually asked us to choose already.

Puccini knew this.
