— Appears in: ABC News [Online] , July 2019;

— Review of Oscar and Lucinda Pierce Wilcox , 2019 single work musical theatre

'Sydney Chamber Opera made its debut in 2011 — a year in which Australia's national opera company premiered no new Australian work (and in fact did not do so again until 2015).' (Introduction)

A Clever Operatic Adaptation of Oscar and Lucinda Is Let down by Music That Fails to Captivate Jeanell Carrigan , 2019 single work review
— Appears in: The Conversation , 31 July 2019;

'Attending the opening night of a world premiere performance of a new Australian opera is an exhilarating experience - though one that requires a bit of pre-performance research. This is not the first Australian opera that has been based on an iconic novel: recent others include Cloudstreet (2016), Bliss (2010) and Voss (1986).' (Introduction)
