1 Opera and Identity : A Study of Eighteen Australian Operas Peter Tregear , 2018 single work review
— Appears in: Australian Book Review , December no. 407 2018; (p. 74-75)

'Just as we are unlikely today to think of South Wales when in New South Wales, the existence of the Sydney Opera House does not of itself draw our collective attention towards opera. It is a structure more to be seen than heard; its professed reason for being long ago overshadowed by those iconic sails, and by the internal compromises that mired its construction. The Joan Sutherland Theatre, for instance, presents physical and technical hindrances to opera production that the recent renovations can only partially redress.'   (Publication summary)

While this is a low figure compared to the budget outlays of other wealthy nations, public support for arts funding here is, if anything, in decline.' (Introduction)
