Writing and Producing
I began translating and re-working operas and operettas of the mainstream repertoire with the aim of making them more accessible to a wider audience. I set up my own company, Travelling Opera, and toured the productions to numerous theatres and other venues in the UK, including Sadlers Wells and the South Bank and Barbican concert halls in London.
