Karah Son and Jane Ede

Karah Son is one of the most exciting sopranos currently working in the international world of opera. She's also a regular on Opera Australia stages and we're thrilled to have her back with us to sing Butterfly in Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour – Madama Butterfly. Learn about the time Karah almost gave up singing, what inspired her to continue, and what she enjoys most in her operatic career.

Karah is joined by Jane Ede, a treasured Australian soprano who will be very familiar to our audiences. Jane discusses the function of covers and the role of Butterfly, which she has understudied many times.

Settle in with a cup of tea and be charmed by these two sopranos, in this in-depth interview: different careers, lives, backstage romances, the beauty of music and the role that unites them Madama Butterfly. 

Behind the Scenes: Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour is hosted by Celeste Haworth.
