Tamar Kelly and Kate Fitzpatrick, stars of stage and screen, in conversation at History House.
We are delighted to announce that the RAHS, in partnership with the Historic Houses Association, will host a special joint event at History House. Tamar Kelly will interview Kate Fitzpatrick and explore Kate’s extraordinary career that spans theatre, film, and television.
Star of Australia’s stage and screen, artist’s muse, writer and trailblazing commentator Kate Fitzpatrick has been hailed a National Treasure for good reason. Career highlights include playing Magenta in the original Australian production of the Rocky Horror Picture Show, opening the Opera House in 1973 with the Three Penny Opera, being the first woman in the world to call the cricket, and most recently touring Australia in Gaslight. In 2025, you can catch her in Renny Harlin’s latest film, Deep Water. We chat to Kate about her several appearances at the Opera House, time spent with Brett Whiteley, Martin Sharpe and Charles Blackman at the Yellow House and everything in between – including a rich and rambunctious collaboration with writer Patrick White.
Tamar Kelly landed her first acting role at age seven and spent weekends running backstage at the Sydney Opera House or whirling around a ballet studio. She has worked all over the world as a performer, writer, teacher and producer. Tamar is currently at Carriageworks in Redfern where she produced the Yellamundie Festival, swim for Griffin Theatre and Gilgamesh with Sydney Chamber Opera and Opera Australia, among others. Tamar loves exploring the techniques and inspirations of creatives and is excited to work with HHA to bring you a series of ‘In the House’ interviews.
Join us as we delve into the creative life of a true National Treasure in what promises to be a captivating conversation, connecting Australia’s past and present through art and performance.
