REVIEWS & TESTIMONIALS FOR ANNA BERGMAN

"A songstress who has triumphed in everything from Broadway tunes to opera arias and the sultry innuendoes of the cabaret chanteuse.”
~Cecilia Porter, The Washington Post

“Anna Bergman thrills you with spectacular high notes…and the sheer aural sensation of her voice. A superior soprano exploring the lower part of her range… proves that an opera singer can be just as sultry as a blues singer.”
~ Will Friedwald, The Wall Street Journal

“Looking at times like Julie Andrews and Renee Fleming and sounding very much up to par with both of them, Anna Bergman is a most accomplished performer.”
~Oscar E. Moore, TalkEntertainment.com

“An artist at the top of her game.”
~David Hurst,Next Magazine

“One of the most glorious voices…stunningly beautiful and classy… It is the combination of her acting, singing and charm that makes Anna Bergman the total package.”
~Linda Amiel Burns, TheatreScene.net

“The real prize of the [Jazz at Lincoln Center] concert found a beauteous Anna Bergman with a group of Richard Rodgers love songs that revealed the cunning contrast among the composer’s lyric writers.”
~Robert L. Daniels, Variety

"In a carefully polished cabaret program…Bergman took the role of citizen of the world. [With] songs that require a variety of vocal styles and skills, ranging from torch song to operatic aria, it is unusual to hear a singer who is at home in all of them…Bergman managed them all in fine style…Whether they were originally associated with Barbara Cook, Julie Andrews or even Maria Callas, Bergman made these songs momentarily her own.”
~Joseph McLellan,The Washington Post

“Her show has everything you would expect from a first rate singer and actor, who also has a wonderful sense of humor and a nonchalant flirtatiousness that made it an electrifying evening.”
~ Stephen Sorokoff,Times Square Chronicles

“Anna Bergman possesses a voice of uncommon flexibility, and her act is one of splendid unpredictability as she ranges through the world of opera, cabaret and musical comedy. Her appearance combines Renée Fleming and the late-lamented Madeline Kahn; she shares with that lady a mischievous sense of humor, a flirtation with the risqué and soaring vocal talent…Bergman’s lyric soprano is perfect for operetta with beautiful, audacious trilling and wicked humour conveyed with a persuasion rarely encountered since the aria was introduced by Barbara Cook.”
~ Tom Vallance, ClassicalSource.com (London)

“Her acting had the maturity to match her singing…cosmopolitan and multi-lingual repertoire moving easily from classical to pop to theater…One stylish diva with a polish of sophistication and grace.”
~ Elizabeth Ahlfors, Cabaret Scenes

“A tour de force.”
~ Barbara & Scott Siegel, TheaterMania.com (Awarded Best CD 2002)

~ Jennifer Reischel,The Stage (London)

“Not since Dawn Upshaw triumphed with ‘I Wish It So’ has a soprano so effortlessly navigated the waters of Broadway and art songs to such dazzling effect. She sings with heart-breaking truth.”
~ David Hurst, Show Business

“A singer of splendid accomplishment…a memorable evening…a thrilling voice.”

“Elegant and utterly enjoyable… She becomes each character in each song, finding the emotional arc…lovely and poignant…a wonderful, breathtaking show that makes classic songs seem vibrant and new.”
~Jena Tesse Fox, Broadwayworld.com

“Looking like a cross between Madonna and Madeline Kahn and possessing a touch of the latter’s mix of a pure classically trained soprano voice and a zany comic sensibility…with her shimmering soprano, excellent taste in material, her warm, engaging wit and personality, Anna was equally effective on theatrical numbers as she was on classic opera fare.”
~ Jonathan Frank, TalkinBroadway.com
