Where it began...
Two weeks after graduating from the Victorian College of the Arts, Anna successfully auditioned to understudy the role of Christine Daaé in the Australian Tour of PHANTOM OF THE OPERA. She performed the role opposite Anthony Warlow in Perth and Adelaide.
Anna became a Principal Artist at Victorian Opera, singing Polly Peachum in THE THREEPENNY OPERA and Pamina in THE MAGIC FLUTE.
Anna was chosen by Andrew Lloyd Webber to create the role of Christine Daaé in LOVE NEVER DIES, his sequel to THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA. This new production premiered at The Regent Theatre in Melbourne and subsequently transferred to the Capitol Theatre in Sydney. Anna was nominated for Sydney Theatre and Green Room awards for her portrayal of Christine. Lauded as the definitive production of this musical, LOVE NEVER DIES was filmed and released in cinemas internationally by Universal Pictures. The DVD and Blu-Ray release debuted at #1 on the international music charts, and #4 on the overall charts.
Following the success of LOVE NEVER DIES, Anna was invited to make her West End debut as Christine in THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA in the flagship production of the show at Her Majesty’s Theatre, London.
She then created the role of Jenny Lind in Cameron Mackintosh’s BARNUM at Chichester Festival Theatre. Anna then returned to the West End in Robert Allan Ackerman’s STRANGERS ON A TRAIN (Gielgud Theatre).
