What would you do differently from what you do now?

Working on two shows this winter: TROY with Malthouse Theatre and Abduction with Victorian Opera. Being in rehearsal rooms with other artists has been a beautiful time.

Land back!
Favourite holiday destination and why?
I went to Mexico a while ago and haven’t stopped thinking about it.
When friends come to town, what attraction would you take them to, and why?
I’d take them to my food spots, lots of great Italian spots in Melbourne.
What are you currently reading?
I’m reading a few things – For work I’m reading a lot of Greek history and myth. The Song of Achilles from Madeline Miller – which is light and more romantic than I normally read. I have just finished the Broken Earth trilogy by N.K. Jemisin.

Lilias White – The Oldest Profession.
Happiness is?
Starting the day with some sun in the morning.
What does the future hold for you?
Making music and travel.
