No, Teddy Tahu Rhodes hasn’t performed for the Sydney Opera House Ladies Committee …..
but he had agreed to perform during 2020 – but, of course, the Pandemic interfered.
So even though we all missed out on a wonderful performance due to Covid, he is included because it was such a generous offer to the Committee and our wonderful supporters.
