Anna Bergman “thrills you with the sheer aural sensation of her voice” (THE WALL STREET JOURNAL) and is hailed by THE WASHINGTON POST as “a vocal citizen of the world who has triumphed in everything from Broadway tunes to opera arias and the sultry innuendoes of a cabaret chanteuse.” She has performed roles in musicals, operas, plays and has been a soloist for Queen Elizabeth’s Birthday/60th Jubilee, in Carnegie Hall’s Ira Gershwin Centennial and Vienna, City of Dreams Festival, at the White House, with major international music festivals, symphony orchestras and on television including her own PBS concert “A SALON WITH ANNA BERGMAN.”

Anna is delighted to launch the 2nd season of LTV Studio’s “Hamptons Summer Songbook” series after performing in their inaugural 2023 season. In her new show “THE SONG IS YOU,” Anna is “a knockout, so is her show…[She] clearly communicates the texts of her songs and maintains a connection with her audience throughout gorgeous vocalizing." (CABARET SCENES). She will serenade you with beloved songs from Broadway musicals and films by Leonard Bernstein, Stephen Sondheim, Jerome Kern, George & Ira Gershwin, Richard Rodgers, Oscar Hammerstein, Sheldon Harnick, Burton Lane, Alan J. Lerner, Michel Legrand, Charles Trenet, Franz Lehar, Noel Coward, Giacomo Puccini, Don Mclean and signature songs for Edith Piaf and Marlene Dietrich.

“Wonderful, poignant and breathtaking, Anna makes classic songs seem vibrant and new.” (BROADWAYWORLD).
