Intimate Setting
Speaking to Variety, Minogue shared her anticipation to perform with a crowd after months of rehearsals and to begin this legacy tenor at the venue.
“It’s been really fun being part of the birth of this place and having a real vested interest in Voltaire as a whole.” said Minogue.
“It’s an investment from all of us, committing to it and believing in the project. Ideas are cheap, and anything on paper looks possible, but making it a reality … everyone’s here for the common purpose.”
“We’re always open and excited about expanding and discovering new worlds. I really think Voltaire has done that. If I jump forward 5 to 10 years from now, I will look back on this go wow that was really something,” she continued.
