Then he made a sea-change to Radio Hong Kong - and culture entered his professional world. On to Australia in 1982, where culture took over, broadcasting on the ABC and writing in all national newspapers, mainly about the performing arts. He formed a local chapter of the International Association of Theatre Critics, contributed to The World of Theatre and edited two magazines. Later, Jeremy began reviewing opera for the Australian Financial Review and dance for the Sydney Review. Most of his writing (and the odd film) today is deep into Indigenous art and culture at aboriginalartdirectory.com, but he maintains a continuing engagement with opera - early, contemporary, on the Harbour and plain old Puccini.https://bachtrack.com/files/51659-king-roger-saimir-pirgu-ss17-keith-saunders-resized.jpg510340Saimir Pirgu (Shepherd)Keith Saunders2017-Jan-20, Sydney Opera House: Joan Sutherland Theatre: King Rogerhttps://bachtrack.com/opera-listing/sydney-opera-house-joan-sutherland-theatre/king-roger/20-january-2017/19-302017-01-202017-02-15Sydney Opera House: Joan Sutherland TheatreSydneyNew South WalesAustralia1225-33.858362151.214876https://bachtrack.com/files/41870-opera-australia-logo.jpg4

“I would ask what the management’s drama has in common with mine. The title? No. The poet? No. The period? No. The place? No. The characters? No.”
This excerpt from Verdi’s legal proceedings against the management of San Carlo, who were trying to foist changes on Un Ballo in Maschera, came vividly to my mind last night at Sydney Opera House.
