Fairy Queen… The Movie!!

January 31, 2010 by textile

Last year I played Second Fairy in Purcell’s opera The Fairy Queen with the Sydney Gay & Lesbian Choir. The production was staged as part of the Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras, and is the single most fun I’ve had on stage to date. After all I got to wear fishnets, a corset, a [...]

    Hi Y’all, Just a quick post to show you another live video, this time from Derbylicious back in July.
