1:41 Meet two of the six finalists in this year's Lexus

expectations and pressure involved with competing at this level, in a
competition which has launched so many international operatic careers.

the longevity of artist film and video projects after exhibition. So over the

called Circuit which is now home to 300 New Zealand artist videos, and the
focus is on developing national and international audiences for the work.
2:53 The Free House in Nelson is unusual in that it's
untied to any brewery - hence the "Free" bit - and it's housed in an

owners Eelco Boswijk and Mic Dover to discuss their novel business model - over
a beer in the ger.
