Jake Heggie's "Moby Dick" - Adelaide

Production and casting information has now been released for the exciting revival of Jake Heggie's "Moby Dick", which premiered last year at the Dallas Opera with Ben Heppner in the title role. The opera has been co-commissioned by the State Opera of South Australia in Adelaide (Grant's home city) and the production promises to be a most significant arts event in Australia for 2011.

Grant return to Adelaide after last year's successful step-in as Zurga in The Pearl Fishers to sing the role of Starbuck, first mate to Captain Ahab on the "Pequod" and a devout Quaker from Nantucket.
