Melbourne’s favourite jazz singing cabaret diva invites you to journey ‘round midnight’ with her.
Iconic local Mama Alto is a jazz singer, cabaret artiste and gender transcendent diva. Her liquid velvet voice comes to the fore in beguiling interpretations of jazz standards and ballads.
Her performance in Primrose Potter Salon spans stunning interpretations of jazz standards and turns already rich material inside out in search of heart wrenching new possibilities.
Traversing smoky torch songs, sumptuous jazz ballads and luscious velvet vocals, this concert’s repertoire holds both familiar melodies and unexpected morsels. With her soaring voice, exquisite sense of musicality and wondrously statuesque stage presence, Mama Alto continues to establish herself as one of Australia’s pre-eminent interpreters of the art of torch singing.
Enigmatic, multifaceted and resplendent, her weaving of song and story, triumph and tragedy, poignancy and pathos make for an unforgettable musical experience.
