Was voice work something that interested you before?
Voice work? I'd never done it before in my life.
It was very funny, because while I was doing Farscape, I did all the workshops on Moulin Rouge [in which he played The Man in the Moon]. Then I went off to New Zealand to direct an opera, and then my assistant director on that had had to do an opera in Sydney because Baz Luhrmann couldn't do it because he was doing Moulin Rouge.
Then he went off to St Petersburg to do an opera there, but the conductor couldn't be there because he was Placido Domingo, who was in London voicing me in Moulin Rouge, which I thought was hilarious. Round and round the world we all go.
