About the event
Star of Australia’s stage and screen, artist’s muse, writer and trailblazing commentator Kate Fitzpatrick has been hailed a National Treasure for good reason.
Career highlights include playing Magenta in the original Australian production of the ‘Rocky Horror Picture Show’, opening the Opera House in 1973 with the ‘Three Penny Opera’, being the first woman in the world to call the cricket, and most recently touring Australia in ‘Gaslight’. In 2025, you can catch her in Renny Harlin’s latest film, ‘Deep Water’.
We chat to Kate about her several appearances at the Opera House, time spent with Brett Whiteley, Martin Sharpe and Charles Blackman at the Yellow House and everything in between – including a rich and rambunctious collaboration with writer Patrick White.
