Favourite opera
I would find it difficult to choose between Salome, Tristan und Isolde, Don Carlos and The Rake’s Progress.
Favourite opera role to perform
Anything I am currently in.
A fun fact not many people know about you
My sister Janet Todd is a soprano, but we struggle to find duets to sing together, as the tenor and soprano characters are usually lovers.
Where’s the strangest place you’ve performed?
I once sang a Messiah in Naracoorte Caves. Very atmospheric, but also quite dusty!
