Kristine Stott has been singing since the age of two, when her father taped her rendition of “How Much is that Doggie in the Window?” Born into a musical and theatrical family, she made her stage debut at age eight in a production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream and hasn’t looked back since. Early training in music and drama reinforced her ambition to become a classical actress, but somehow she seemed to win role after role in musical comedies. Urged into the world of opera in her 20s, she studied singing in New York and London, and emerged as a lyric coloratura mezzo-soprano. She has performed with regional theatre and opera companies throughout the U.S. and Europe, with roles in works ranging from Mozart’s Cosi fan tutte and Offenbach’s La Perichole to A Little Night Music and Annie Get Your Gun. Equally at home on the concert stage and cabaret hall, she loves to sing standards as well as new music. She has performed a number of world premieres, including Blue Vagabond by Stephen Scotti, with whom she has been collaborating artistically since 1997. She lives in Pennsylvania with her husband and teen-aged son, and a mellow chocolate Lab named Truffle.
