In August 1998, Opera Australia Principal and Phantom of the Opera star PATRICK TOGHER announced the launch of Patrick Togher Artists' Management to represent a select group of Australian and international singers, conductors and Musical Theatre performers.
Born in Sydney, Patrick Togher graduated in Law and Economics from the University of Sydney whilst establishing a repertoire of over 40 roles, specialising in Wagner, Strauss and 2oth Century Music with The Australian Opera (now Opera Australia).
In 1994 Patrick accepted the offer to sing "Ubaldo Piangi" in Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera, which saw him play 1000 Performances in Australia. He subsequently played the role in the West End of London.
"Whilst the core of my work is and will be centred around the traditional large opera companies and concert organisations, I am convinced that opportunities exist for the presentation of fine music in venues as diverse as churches and casinos. Opera and classical music should be more accessible to all Australians - a rarefied atmosphere only serves to marginalise any potential audience."
