You know you are in the presence of a moment truly remarkable and precious when the crowd is silent, just in awe, and 100% transfixed on the stage. 

Mama Alto, gender transcendent diva, is captivating, haunting and heart-wrenching. Her vocal ability is pure and powerful; she is a star.

Witty, charismatic, and still grounded enough to mingle with the audience before the set, Mama Alto brings the charm to cabaret in this one hour of sweet melodies that just get you right in the feels. 

“Music carries the emotions that are too intense for the body to handle”, Mama Alto says. I felt that, and I think the audience felt that too. 

Bringing her internationally acclaimed talent to FRINGE WORLD Festival is such a treat and an opportunity to witness greatness in action. Accompanied by Joshua Haines, a brilliant talent in his own right, on the piano. It’s a delight to see these masters of the art collaborate and have fun together on stage. 

While FRINGE WORLD Festival has closed for 2026, keep an eye out next year and at other events for Mama Alto – she is divine.
