...a singer often torn between The Blues in the Night and Mozart's
Queen of the Night, Andrea surprises and enchants audiences with the beauty
and range of her voice and singing style.
Andrea's often oddball choice of material for her shows, which listeners
find both moving and funny, and her witty patter and specialty lyrics make
for a singular cabaret evening or special event, drawing on her experiences
and talents as a journalist, writer, lyricist and opera singer, as well as
on her love (and vast knowledge) of American theater music.
Shishkebopera, her original one-woman opera comedy concert, founded on the notion that to sing is heaven, to skewer divine keeps opera cogniscenti
and neophytes listening and laughing.
She has worked with such first-rate music directors as
Paul Trueblood and Paul Greenwood, and now offers programs with Alan Siegal,
who plays an 8-string Mostro guitar (which has two unfretted bass strings), for unique sound and arrangements.
