The Opera Foundation Australia, Opera Awards and Scholarships 2008 have just informed me that I have been selected to compete in the finals of both the Italian Opera Scholarship and the New York Study Scholarship. I am so excited and feel very grateful to be selected from a very talented pool of young Australian singers. I just hope to perform my best for the judges and learn as much as I can from this experience and it's finalists!! :)[ view entry ] ( 473 views ) | related link

I'm Back!!! The study trip to Italy was amazing!! I studied at the Instituto Italiano in Florence and completed 8 weeks of Italian language study. I saw as many performances as I could, including Madama Butterfly. More than anything, I loved the culture shock!! Walking to school past Il Duomo everyday and having to converse in Italian 24/7 was such a valuable and exciting experience. The art, the architecture and the history was just so interesting and it became clear to me that the more I knew, the more I realised there was to discover. I made some wonderful friends and I know that all the language and culture skills, the places I went to and the art I saw will all contribute enormously to my music making.I hope to continue studying this language and be come as fluent as I possibly can in the following years.
