Christine Logan, Stage Director

The melodies and maladies of Messieurs Sullivan & Gilbert, weave their merry way through Lesley’s earliest musical memories. Her first official taste of topsy-turvy came in ‘Trial by Jury’, playing Angelina for a Loosely Woven production that was a surprise hit at the National Folk Festival in Canberra. Her debut with G&S Opera Sydney followed swiftly thereafter, when she landed the role of Pitti-Sing in ‘The Mikado’ (2019), and she has since been honoured with a number of invitations to perform and tour under the banner of this fine group. Most recently she made a mischief of Willis’ “Private” life in the company’s re-envisioned Iolanthe

Joyfully engaged with Endangered Productions since 2020, Lesley has chalked up 
an eclectic repertoire of chamber opera gems. This has included lead roles in JS Bach’s charmingly comedic ‘Coffee Cantata’ and Mozart’s ‘Bastien & Bastienne’ (penned by the composer at age twelve)  Its So Last Century,  showcasing the work of four 20th century composers, featured Lesley as Lucy in Gian Carlo Menotti’s ‘The Telephone’
