Mama Alto: Transcendent
Presented by Mama Alto in association with Hayes Theatre Co
One of Australia’s finest cabaret artistes, the velvet-voiced Mama Alto returns to Sydney for her Hayes Theatre debut with “Mama Alto: Transcendent”- following sold-out, smash-hit performances at Joe’s Pub in New York, Perth International Cabaret Festival, and Melbourne Recital Centre.
Mama Alto is a jazz singer, cabaret artiste and gender transcendent diva. Her liquid velvet voice comes to the fore in stunning and beguiling interpretations that turn already rich material inside-out. Traversing smoky torch songs, sumptuous jazz ballads and luscious vocals, Mama’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.
