In My View, The Operas Of Carlisle

It's Not Enough To Hit The Notes. There Is No Point In The Singers Just Standing There And Sounding Wonderful If They're Not Connecting With The Characters They Are Portraying.

The Number Of Opera Houses Around The World And The High Attendance Rates Show That Opera An Art Form That Is More Popular Than Ever.

I'd Really Been Interested In Opera When I Was About 16, And I Really Like Staging Them.

In Australia, They Set Up A Special Fund To Kick Films Off. It Was Quite An Enlightened Sort Of Move. You Could Go To This Government Bureau With Scripts And And Get Finance For Films.

Directing An Opera Is Similar To Directing A Play. The Singing Must Not Get In The Way Of The Drama.
