New Horizons
Today, I had the chance to sit down and chat with Melbourne-based composer Lee **Bradshaw.** Exactly on this day, one year ago (2024), the premiere of his first opera—which I had the honour of engraving—took place. It was not just “another opera”, rather the first grand-opera of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, titled _Zarqa Al-Yamama,_ a 90-min, two-acts masterpiece entirely sung in Arabic language.
To celebrate this historic anniversary, I felt it appropriate to catch-up with Lee on his multiple open fronts (definitely a kindred soul in this!).
Grab a drink, sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride!
