‘The Three of Us’- Jacqui Dark, Kanen Breen and Alexander

Jacqui Dark and Kanen Breen are two of the most popular opera starts with Opera Australia. Behind the scenes they are firm friends and together bring up 1 year Alexander. This is a no holds barred story which is touching as well as ridiculously funny and barefacedly honest.

“He offered to co-parent; I didn’t have to ask him. He calls himself Papa. As far  as I’m concerned, Alexander is our son. Kanen was there when Alexander was born  and he stayed overnight at the hospital and looked after him while I was in  recovery.”

Stephen Lacey interviews them for The Sydney Morning Herald.
