Join this group of wonderful performers as we help save Democracy! Tuesday, October 12th, at Don't Tell Mama, NYC
Join me at the Winter Rhythms Festival on December 11, 9pm, as I sing the music of Kurt Weill! German-born composer Kurt Weill was a genius and a chameleon: his music blurred the lines between musical genres. In his relatively short life, he lived in three different countries, and adapted his style to the music of his new surroundings without ever losing his own voice. Weill's music has been sung and recorded by classical, jazz, pop, and rock performers, each bringing something new to the music.

"...soprano Janice Hall exhibited true concern and affection for Owen, her favorite of her husband’s students. Hall is a wonderful character actress, whose very presence on stage was soothing in the midst of so much vitriol."
Rick Perdian, Seen and Heard International
THE OPERA SHOW (with No Opera)
Winter Rhythms Festival, Urban Stages Theatre
"This most innovative effort consists of using opera as a springboard to popular music, wittily describing the plots of operas and the emotions evoked.
​
The four operas dissected are: La Traviata, in which Ms.Hall appeared as Violetta in the Live From Lincoln Center telecast directed by Renata Scotto; La Bohème, in which over time she sang both Mimi and Musetta; The Barber of Seville, in which she played Rosina, and astonishingly because of the vocal demands, Salome.
​
But then, I’m convinced Janice Hall can sing just about anything. Her vocal range and technique are extraordinary. She can float a pianissimo head tone in the vocal stratosphere and yet has chest tones worthy of Azucena."
