CLASSICAL CROSSOVER
SOPRANO
& ENTERTAINMENT CREATIVE
// WELCOME //Hi, I’m Tanya!
WELCOME
I’m a Canadian-American Classical Crossover Soprano, Actor and Cruise Entertainer.
☉ PISCES, ☾ SAGITTARIUS, ↑ AQUARIUSI’ve performed 80 opera, operetta, and musical theatre roles worldwide including appearances with The Ohio Light Opera, Utah Festival Opera, Lyric Opera of Chicago, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Detroit Opera, TheatreZone, Edmonton Opera, Lyrique-en-Mer Festival de Belle-Île, The Banff Centre, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and the Tel Aviv Vocal Arts Festival, among many others. An avid traveller, I have visited 91 countries, nearly half of which I sailed to while performing at sea with Azamara, Viking, Celebrity Cruises, and Explora Journeys.
I also consider myself to be an Entertainment Creative, someone who envisions, organizes and executes creative solutions and offerings in the entertainment industry. As an Entertainment Creative, I freelance as a Cruise Director, Entertainment Manager, and I’m the Founder & Lead Designer at Tanya Roberts Creative, a boutique video editing and graphic design studio for performers and performing arts organizations.

MY SOUL’S PURPOSE
“How do I know I was put on this earth to perform? Because every time I watch a performance, I wish I was in it rather than watching it.”
(No matter how bad it is.)
