"Chop Chef" is a contemporary comedy opera and in the setting, six contestants from around Australia fight for their lives in a fictional reality television series Chop Chef.

In the audio, Ms. Ohtake explains the story-line of "Chop Chef" and the charms of the contemporary opera.  She also talks about her character Victoria, who Ms. Ohtake thinks is very opposite to herself.

Ms Ohtake immigrated to Australia in 2016.
