The next Maria is working in a butcher’s shop
OperaOpera Australia has announced casting for West Side Story in March.
Singing the role of Maria is Nina Korbe, 25, a rising talent at Opera Queensland who comes from a First Nation family and works at a butchers shop near Brisbane to make ends meet.
A former student at London’s Royal Academy of Music, Nina tells the ABC: ‘Working in the butcher shop keeps me grounded and more balanced.’
