"I love anything out of the ordinary so I jumped at the chance!"
Jordin Steele is quite frank when asked about the joys of performing underground.
And while the former Rocky girl was a shining light during last weeks underground opera performance, it seems our very own Cathedral almost stole the show.
"To be able to sing, without a microphone, almost at a whisper and still be heard by everyone in the audience is a real treat."
Now in its third year, the Underground Opera is becoming one of the highlights on Central Queensland's social calendar and last weekend was no exception!
For three consecutive nights there wasn't an empty seat in the house ( or cave... as it were) as crowds flocked to see such classics as 'Sweeney Todd' and the 'Barber of Seville' in a somewhat surreal limestone setting.
For Jordin her time will now be devoted to completing her Masters Degree at QUT and the the day to day running of her own opera company Outcast Opera, aiming to give up and coming singers a helping hand.
Not bad for someone who was teaching English in Japan a few years ago!
And come November Jordin will again join forces - or voices - with the cast of Underground Opera, for another ground breaking tour, with venues ranging from old tin sheds to abandoned gold mines... and even a return visit to the Cathedral here at the Capricorn Caves.
Stay tuned!
