Associate Producer for Opera Australia, Mr Adrian Storey said that the company is delighted with the children he has cast for the Brisbane season of The King and I.
This production had a specific brief in that we were looking for children to portray Thai Princes and Princesses who are children of the King of Siam. Therefore they needed to be of any Asian ethnicity, with the exception of the son of the English Governess, who needed to be of caucasian decent.
