Theatrical Soprano Anna-Lee Robertson is joined by pianist Mark Jones for her latest one-woman show, After Birth.
“An Artist who has it all, Robertson stands out from the ruck for her artistry, confidence, and sheer talent bursting at the seams. She is a class act” – Clive 0’Connell The Age.
Once again, Robertson fearlessly submits her personal life for analysis as she sets sail on a humorous, poignant navigation of parenthood and the nature of love. Offering meditations on the modern family struggles of pandemic kid-wrangling; relationship maintenance; self-care; the limits of hospitality and the boundless capacity of the human heart, Robertson’s inimitable wit and wisdom provide the perfect counterpoint to her extraordinary curation of vocal repertoire.
Robertson shines as interpreter of a genre-bending patchwork of song, spanning old and new worlds of Broadway, opera, cabaret and art song. Sharing her consummate instrument – rich in emotion, flush with colour and sparkling with agility – Robertson’s gilded voice reaches deep into your soul and plucks at your heartstrings. Her breathtaking capacity to translate music in the most profound way is a treat the senses, leading the audience along a musical journey at once tender and exhilarating.
