8 Ways to Break a Glass (With an American Opera Singer)

Steph moved to Europe to sing opera. Now, she’s the lead singer of a German metal band while touring the EU as a stand-up comedian.

In a world where opportunities for artists are drying up, Steph has found a way to keep singing, no matter what the venue is.

Berlin’s beloved opera-singing comedian is back with her best yet: a new show of opera, jazz, and original music to tell the story of the classical singer to metal band pipeline, and how to keep at it when the world is burning down. Featured on BBC News and Arte.

Audience reviews from last year’s show:

“Go see this show!! It looks like it’s far away but you can easily walk. Incredibly talented singer and human being. Such an amazing story of someone who really seizes every day. I’ve been to scores of Fringe shows but I will remember this one and the uplifting message it delivers - celebrate life!”

“This was our very first show at our very first Fringe visit and we were not disappointed. Steph is an amazing singer and a very good story teller. She set the bar high for the rest of the festival and we will look out for her in future years!”

“Fabulous from start to finish ! Definitely worth seeing. Steph is funny and a very talented singer (it’s not all Opera). Although her story is very moving, which I did not see coming, you still feel uplifted when you leave and ready to face the world and be loud!!!!”

“First time on the fringe festival and I was so lucky to have seen this! Steph warmly welcomed everyone, it made me feel at ease. I am in awe of her talent, she combines opera with comedy and storytelling. Tears rolled down my cheeks as I laughed so hard (sorting trash has never been so funny!) and because I was so moved by the beauty of her story. Her voice moved me to tears as well, crystal clear opera in a basement of a bar!”

“I walked what seemed out of town, then said I would have to leave early to catch another show, but I didn't as it was all worth it.”
