Opera's Bad Girl
About
The extraordinary life story of Anna Bishop, the World's First Daringly Defiant DivaA daring contemporary of Queen Victoria, this fearless original diva, Anna Bishop, shattered social expectations and redefined independence, when she left her famous composer husband to forge her own artistic path.
A woman of many firsts, her life was a constant adventure when carriage and ship were the only means of travel.
Touring the world with her genius harpist lover, she survived shipwreck, tiger attack, hostage, epidemics, the rough goldfields and boom-bust fortunes, and whose spirit is part of our colonial character and story having made three tours of Australia.
Renowned Canberra opera singer Sarahlouise Owens brings Anna’s extraordinary journey to life through songs and arias of the era, such as 'Home Sweet Home', 'Lucia Mad Scene' and 'The Last Rose of Summer'. Opera's Bad Girl is a story of passion, resilience, and unapologetic artistry
