My first experience of performing with Jan was with Melbourne Theatre Company in Sondheim's Sweeney Todd, Jan was the best beggar woman I have ever seen. We also performed more modern opera pieces in which her strong soprano voice was pure, just like her soul. Jan was fun,she would get on the wrong plane,she had her share of crises but when required she was always there.
A major loss to theatre and music,and to me as a catch up coffee neighbour.
My heartfelt condolences to all those who mourn her passing,especially her boys.
