Stephanie was anxious about her upcoming audition for Opera Queensland. The company performs in the Lyric Theatre, which is housed in the Queensland Performing Arts Centre. Stephanie has been a fan of the company since she was a child and can remember wanting to play for the opera from a very young age. She was given a clarinet when she was six and played the saxophone for two years in high school though she went back to the clarinet and studied it in college where she graduated with a degree in music performance.

Stephanie has worked in Sydney and for a brief time in England and now she is back sitting in one of the hotels Brisbane waiting for her chance to audition for the Opera Queensland. She thought it was rather funny that her dream was to return here all these years and perform for this company rather than staying in London and pursuing a career there. It’s not that Queensland isn’t a quality and respected company, it absolutely is, but many of Stephanie’s peers were trying to carve out professional careers at the international level.

One of the aspects of the Opera Queensland that attracts Stephanie now on the professional level is its partnership with The Opera Conference. Due to this relationship with the national partnership of professional opera companies Opera Queensland is involved with commissioning and presenting new works. Stephanie loves some of the opera classics and is a huge fan of Mozart, she has always strongly supported the development of new work and has herself even worked with composers before. Stephanie firmly believes that she will love working with Opera Queensland and hopes they will feel the same way about her.
