Let’s make a bucket list, one that ticks off the achievements that so few humans can lay claim to, of the degree of difficulty of winning an Oscar, capturing Olympic gold or venturing into space. Add to that playing the lead role in The Phantom of the Opera, for more than 20 years the most financially successful entertainment event in the world.

Enter Melbourne’s Josh Piterman.

The St Kilda East theatre star, who learnt his stage craft in Ballarat, beat scores of hopefuls for the role of the Phantom in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s long-running musical on London’s West End. Meet him this week. ●

FIRST PERSON

“ I am Richard Lawton ” ... a voice coach When I say that I’m a voice coach, people tend to think it’s all “how now, brown cow”, doing scales and that kind of boring stuff.

About five times a week I’ll do an individual session and it starts with me asking someone to sing a note – just one long note. You don’t have to be able to sing. I listen to that note and that’s a diagnostic, I can hear the past, present and future there. Your voice is very indicative of your personality, your vocal and mental health. We speak who we are.

I grew up just south of Liverpool in Wedgwood, an industrial wasteland. Our parents were great, they said “get educated, leave”, because they had to leave school when they were 14 and get factory jobs.

There was always singing around the house. Mum used to sing musicals and Dad had been a Methodist lay preacher before the war, which involved singing.

I found Australia when I was on tour as an actor with an art-house theatre. We went to Sydney and I jumped ship and moved into directing; it was a huge relief. You know when you find that thing you’re supposed to do, what you’re here on the planet for?

For me it was about helping other people shine.

For many years now, I’ve been leading the Soulsong community choir in Elsternwick, two nights a week. It’s become a real tribe, a community.

People singing together really bond together, there’s all kinds of research around that.

A while back, I also used to run a singing group in the eating disorder unit with a psychologist at the Royal Melbourne Hospital.

The first day I was there, there was a circle of 12 chairs, each with a cushion on it. Everybody came in, sat down, put a cushion on their lap and looked at their shoes, and I thought, “uh-oh, this is not going to be easy”. And then about eight months later we started getting complaints on the noise – yes! It was so touching to see them open up.

When you’re putting your voice out, you’re quite naked, quite vulnerable. The voice is such a responsive muscle, unlike your ears and eyes it can be asleep for decades. I work with old people and suddenly in a few minutes they find this big voice.

The recurring thing I have from people is “Is that my voice?”, and I say “There’s only two of us here and it wasn’t me”. ●

COVER STORY

M

elbourne classical singer and performer Josh Piterman has scored the role of a lifetime; one he dreamed of as a teenager growing up in St Kilda East. The 34-year-old is now wooing London’s West End, performing the title role in The Phantom Of The Opera.

“I’ve been obsessing about this role ever since I started doing musical theatre at high school,” says Piterman from London in between rehearsals.

“The director and musical team behind it have been so supportive and instilled in me a confidence to explore this role as an actor beyond the obvious.

“I can be the Phantom beyond what we already know of him; I can bring something unique within the parameters.”

Facing the future Moving to London wasn’t a hard decision; it also means Piterman can be closer to his musician girlfriend, Scottish pop singer and songwriter Charlotte Black.

“Doing a long-distance relationship has been hard, but we’ve made it work for a year now,” he says.

“Knowing we’re in the same time zone does help.”

Piterman also knows he has some mighty shoes to fill, following in the steps of music theatre legend Michael Crawford, who played the original Phantom when the show opened at London’s Her Majesty’s Theatre in 1986.

“I feel the best way to tackle the role is to think about what I can

bring to it; so I’m really all about the here and now,” he says.

Piterman was last in the London six years ago after a season of An Officer and Gentleman in Sydney was cut short after six weeks.

“It was sad it didn’t last, but because of that I had my moment of

clarity,” he says. “I thought, ‘there is nothing to do in Australia right now’.

I got my Polish passport sorted because of my dad and off I went. I auditioned for a few shows and got a role as Corny Collins in Hairspray.”

Since then he has gained attention in Australia as the lead of Gerry

Goffin in Beautiful: The Carole King Musical and for his role in Cats alongside Delta Goodrem.

He won a Green Room Award for Best Supporting Actor in a Musical Theatre show at the time.

After completing year 12, Piterman moved to Ballarat to study a bachelor

Melbourne’s Josh Piterman hopes to bring something ‘unique’ to the celebrated role of the Phantom.

of arts in music theatre at Federation University Australia.

“I spent most of my life in East St Kilda and even bought an apartment there, but I look back at that experience in the country; it was good for me,” he says. “It was a reality check in some way, good to leave the city and home for a while.”

When Piterman takes to the stage as the Phantom, he knows the vulnerable male character is one he is used to playing. “It’s a bit of a theme for me at the moment,” he smiles, “playing a vulnerable man who is lost and lonely.”

Piterman moved to London three months before the season and for the making of the mask.

Last year, Piterman found the time to also record a debut self-titled album. It was produced by John Foreman and includes classical and pop versions of Wicked Game by Chris Isaak and All of Me by John Legend to name a few. The album was recorded in Europe with the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra.

For all his achievements (and there have been many), Piterman hit a crossroad after completing Hairspray in London. He felt burnt out and unsure of his path, so he moved back to Melbourne to start his own fitness business for a shift in perspective.

“I had been in London for a while and felt I didn’t know what I wanted to do. I had been touring for years. I just needed some time to think,” Piterman says.

Self-care was more important to him than ever.

“I discovered meditation in my 20s but it wasn’t until shit hit the fan in my personal life – when my marriage broke down [in 2010 after being married to fellow performer

Hayley Nissen] that I went back to it as a source of self-understanding,” he says.

Piterman says he loves undertaking a role that challenges him and the Phantom does just that.

He also says his life experience has helped nurture and better understand a complex role like the Phantom. “I love that feeling of being nervous on stage. Every role has to give you that sense or it doesn’t push you,” he says.

“I have learnt the difference between that and negative self-talk.

“I have experienced both in my career and when young performers ask me for advice, I say ‘meditate’.

That’s the only thing that ever helped me get in charge of myself and my thoughts.” ● THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA \ Her Majesty’s Theatre, London.

t was while working as a foreign correspondent covering the civil wars in the former Yugoslavia for the ABC’s Four Corners program in 1986 that award-winning journalist Tony Jones first thought about writing a novel.

Those years abroad saw him cover horrific war crimes and reporting from the gruesome frontline was best dealt with by notes jotted in diaries – at least in part.

From the places he visited and the things he saw, Jones began to plot his

own storyline. “The core idea for the book came to me in the mid-80s when I was sent to Yugoslavia to make a Four Corners project called Nazis in Australia,” Jones says.

“It was based on radio documentary-maker Mark Aarons’ six-part series he made for the ABC.” While overseas, Jones was looking for evidence of Nazi war criminals that had concealed their past and migrated to Australia.

“Mark’s series revealed that after the Second World War, many war

the secrets and find out what really happened to Katich in 1992.

The characters in In Darkness Visible are inspired by Jones’ time spent in these tiny villages in the former Yugoslavia.

He also spent a year writing for the novels in 1996 when he and his wife, Sarah Ferguson (an ABC journalist), moved to Rovinj for a year’s long service leave.

“Rovinj is a classic divided town with two ethnic groups – there’s an Italian population there and Croatian street signs under the Italian ones. It was a classic place where tensions were always there but they managed to live together. It’s also one of the most beautiful places I ever lived. We had an apartment right there and could see the most beautiful turquoise coloured water of the Adriatic,” Jones says.

“The town itself becomes a character in the book as do many of the people I met there.” ●

criminals from Eastern Europe had their records cleansed by intelligence agencies and were sent Australia as a kind of reward for the work they had done for the secret intelligence agencies,” he says.

“It had a huge impact and caused the Hawke government to amend the War Crimes Act and set up the Special Investigations Unit [in 1987] to prosecute Nazi war criminals who came to Australia … those war crimes trials inspired my book.”

In Darkness Visible comes after the former ABC Q&A host’s bestselling debut thriller The Twentieth Man and follows the protagonists Marin Katich, the son of a fascist war criminal, and Anna Rosen, a freelance journalist and daughter of a communist.

Rosen is emailed photos of a man who she knows to be dead – gunned down in an ambush in Bosnia over a decade ago – and a man she once loved. She’s determined to unravel

MUSIC Irish singer Roisin Murphy shares the pressure to succeed after getting away with a lot in her early years.

I

No Re ser LIM se vic IT r v e f ED e ee O by f F 31 or FE De 12 R c mo 20 n 19 ths

t’s been more than 25 years since Irish singer Roisin Murphy emerged as one half of electronic dance duo Moloko. Since then she’s pursued a solo career as a post-disco diva and heads back to Australia for the first time in 11 years.

“I don’t have much time to reflect on what I’ve achieved, I just keep going,” says the modest 46-year-old mother of two, who takes the call while in Budapest ahead of a DJ set in Milan with DJ Nina Kraviz at a private fashion party for Max & Co. “My career has never been easy, I don’t feel I’ve ever gotten to the point where I feel I am sailing or it’s become easier.

“I always have to do the best

possible work and that’s what I am judged on. There is no drive quite like that.”

Murphy’s last studio album Take Her Up To Monto was released in 2016; it’s fair to say fans are keenly waiting on the next album. That record dived into avant-garde rhythms and a maze of ’80s-tinged synths and industrial drums. She even wore a high-vis jacket on the cover art as a nod to her family’s working class roots.

In Australia, she plans on burning through a set-list of classics she’s become known for including Moloko’s Sing It Back and Where Is The What If The What Is In Why, and Through Time and Gone Fishing

from her albums Ruby Blue and Hairless Toys.

Moloko’s commercial success came unexpectedly in the mid-90s, with Murphy admitting she hadn’t planned on being a singer.

“When Mark Brydon [her exboyfriend] and me made Do You Like My Tight Sweater we were experimenting,” she says.

“It was more a conceptual album than a musical one. We didn’t think we’d make a career of it but it took off. I look back at old footage of me performing on stage and all I see is a young girl looking very over the top.

You can get away with murder when you’re 19 and gorgeous and wearing leatherette,” she smiles.

Murphy doesn’t have any hard and fast rules about making it in the music industry.

“I’m the worst person to ask for advice,” she says.

“I am not really famous, I don’t have a machine behind me driving this thing and … I feel I have to prove myself time and again.” ROISIN MURPHY “My mum rang me recently and asked me to speak to a friend of hers child who is 13 and had just won a TV singing competition. She apparently wanted some advice about making it as an artist.

“I was like ‘Mum, what am I going to tell her?’ Go nightclubbing, sing up and down the British Isles until you’re 20 and meet loads of lunatics – because that’s all I did.”

For now, there’s a new catchy single Incapable – a twisted disco tune that reminds us why Murphy became a club voice for the ages. Her deep soul vocals lean on pop’s optimism but tempt you to party till the wee hours.

“I feel I’m in the most creative time of my life right now,” she says. “There are a few more singles to come that I’ve made with my long time collaborator DJ Parrot … there’s an album forthcoming I’m sure.”

For every banging groove, there is a whiff of uncertainty.

“When it comes to making new music, I have everything to lose every single time I do it,” Murphy says. “I am not really famous, I don’t have a machine behind me driving this thing and … I feel I have to prove myself time and again.

“The new material with DJ Parrot is pure filth. It’s high music that reminds me of seeing double in the middle of the night. It’s an ode to that time and what we remember feeling when we were young.” ●

hen celebrity stylist Lana Wilkinson racked up a designer shoe bill of $8000 in a month so she could dress her A-list clients in peak party season, she knew she had to rethink more than just the maths. She decided to start her own business and paint the town patent pink – one fabulous stiletto at a time.

Wilkinson, who lives in Melbourne’s western suburbs with her husband Liam and their two daughters, made a name for herself as a stylist to some of the most high-profile WAGs including Rebecca Judd and Nadia Bartel.

It helped that they were friends, but it also led to plenty of styling work that wooed everyone from Zoe Foster-Blake to Megan Gale and Nicole Warne Shadbolt (that’s @nicolewarne on Instagram – 1.7 million followers and counting) in 2014.

Wilkinson’s namesake shoe label has launched with nine new styles for spring/summer a month ago. There are kitten-heels and slingbacks for those who don’t fancy a towering stiletto, too. She’s got red-carpet-ready looks aplenty, and heels for your next milestone celebration – endorsed by her favourite Melbourne girl gang.

“I’m all about bold colours. I am not really into nude or black shoes. I also love metallic so that’s what you’ll find in my collection,” she says.

“The shoes also had to be comfortable, I had to source the right leathers; the finishing had to be spot on and the quality had to amazing. I had all these boxes to tick. I wasn’t going to put my name to something that wasn’t quality or up to my standard.”

Wilkinson, who had a part-time job working with her father in his dry-cleaning firm in her early 20s, got a taste for fashion early and also knew the hard work involved in running your own business by watching him in action.

“A lot of people spend a lot of time talking about starting their own business, but not only did I talk about it, I made it happen,” she smiles.

And she wouldn’t have done so without the encouragement and support of her husband, family and friends.

“For me it’s about something coming to fruition. I would rather try and fail than not try at all. I always want to keep challenging myself.” ● lanawilkinson.com

“I felt there was a gap in the market for reasonably priced and good quality dress shoes when I was styling,” she says of her epiphany.

“Everything I liked was a high-end designer and they were simply too much to pay all the time. I also couldn’t get samples of everything I liked when I needed product in bulk, so I would end up buying shoes and they’re still there in my archives.

“I also didn’t want to run samples back and forth either.”

Wilkinson’s mission to find fun, flirty shoes that don’t cost the earth saw her jot a business plan, find manufacturers in China and plot her business journey by asking friends who worked in footwear manufacturing and retail.

“It helped [that] I had people I could bounce ideas off, but ultimately the decision was mine and I had to make the leap of faith. If I was going to do this it had to be done properly,” she says.

The heels are named after friends on Melbourne’s social scene; among them Lorinska (Merrington, Yummy Mummies reality TV star), Jade (Kisnorbo, make-up artist), Bec (Judd) and Nadia (Bartel), and designed with party feet in mind.

We love the rooftop terrace and help-yourself breakfast and bar. Check in late afternoon and make a beeline for Shadow Wine Bar downstairs. For dinner, No Mafia is a cosy, southern Italian spot across the road.

The street-front dining bar is ideal for soaking up William Street’s vibe over lo-fi wines. The same crew opened Los Bravos less than 200 metres away, if you’re craving Spanish food.

Stop in at the state’s oldest building, The Roundhouse, which opened in 1831 to hold criminals during settlement, or defy claustrophobia with a tunnel tour, 20 metres below Fremantle Prison. If the sun is shining, head back north to the crystal waters of Cottesloe Beach.

Foodies can spend a couple of nights in Perth and road trip to festivals celebrating everything from beer and wine to apples and crabs. In June, Manjimup is a little over three hour’s drive from Perth and heaves during Truffle Kerfuffle. Onsite is a marketplace selling the prized “black gold”, truffle-infused snacks, alcohol and more. The annual Margaret River Gourmet Escape attracts the world’s biggest culinary names – Marco Pierre White and David Chang made the trip out this year, so plan ahead for the 2020 festival next November.

Even when the festival isn’t on, touring the region’s wineries and restaurants is a delight. ●

GET THERE / Airlines including Virgin and Qantas fly from Melbourne to Perth from about $460 return. Flight time is a touch over four hours there and three and a half back.

S

ure, falling in love with a partner is grand, but have you ever driven a Ferrari?

Even for those who do not consider themselves “car people”, to get behind the wheel of Italy’s iconic supercar is like caressing a thoroughbred’s velvety yet muscular flank, or marvelling at a NASA rocket as it spears into space.

Be it admiration for the power of the beast or the scope of human achievement, a Ferrari covers both and anyone with warm blood pumping through their veins will be able to appreciate it.

This two-day tour of the Mornington Peninsula (one the limited Esperienza Ferrari events for 2019) included helicopter transfers, several hours driving a Ferrari Portofino, lunches at Lancemore Lindenderry, refreshments at Pt.

Long, straight dashes followed by tighter coils provides an opportunity to move through the gears so the sonorous engine unleashes its guttural aria.

If you’re thinking this house looks like something straight from the stylish pages of The Design Files, you’re right. Three years ago, the home was featured in TDF after a dramatic renovation. Vendors John and Jo Emery took the original 1960s structure and – with the help of IF Architecture – extended and revamped it to fashion more open spaces, boost the natural light and make focal points of the garden and two courtyards.

In the process, they created a three-bedroom residence that’s thoughtfully zoned, contemporary, warm and familyfriendly.

Jo, a former interiors stylist, filled the house with plants, heirloom objects, and Australian artworks and designer pieces to put her tasteful stamp on the new space.

But this is the kind of abode where natural materials and neutral tones predominate – a canvas on which any savvy resident could make their mark.

Take a tour and see for yourself. On approaching the unassuming facade in a small, tightly held court, you’ll note the landscaped front garden with secluded pool.

On entry, to your left is the accommodation wing with two bedrooms (one with en suite), a luxurious main bathroom and a study. To your right is the spacious living room, which has pool views and flows to the open-plan dining and kitchen area at the back of the house. Beautiful oak floors stretch through the airy kitchen, which has expansive benches, bespoke cabinetry and an induction cooktop.
