CHERYL BARKER!

The General Manager invited me to take part in a Pacific Opera masterclass given last weekend (4 October, 2014) at St Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Balmain, with the one and only CHERYL BARKER.

I worked on Depuis le jour the day prior with Christine Douglas in preparation, and squeaked it out nervously in front of Cheryl. She was so lovely! She was very supportive and warm. I think I managed some very fine sounds in her presence, and she kindly called the sound "stunning".

Well, I can die happy now. :)
