Graham Pushee
Updated Biography - Handel's Rinaldo , Sydney Opera House (July 21, 2005) : excerpt taken from 'Heroically handled all round' review by Murray Black (The Ausralian).
" .... both Graham Pushee and Michael Chance were convincing protagonists. As the Christian general Goffredo, Pushee's steely, incisive tone and security of line conveyed his character's steadfast nobility and he gained in strength and confidence during the performance".
"... Even if you are not a devotee of baroque opera, this production is worth seeing for Pinnock's inspired direction and the uniformly impressive performances of the cast"
