I am a classical soprano singer. I work in opera as well as choral and solo event singing. I can sing an array from musical theatre to cabaret style music to classical and operatic singing. I do events such as luncheons, weddings, and conferences, etc. at a very reasonable and affordable price. Get in touch with me for a quote.

I can do anything from opera to classical to musical theatre to pop. If you need it, I've got it! I just ask for a grace period to be able to prepare for whatever you are wanting!

I would require a piano and an accompanist.
If a piano and accompanist cannot be provided, we can talk about using a CD in the background.
If using a CD, it is required to have a sound system with microphones. I would not need microphones when using a piano, unless it is electric.
The set list depends on the type of show. I am willing to sing anything.
