Best known for her role as Christine in the Las Vegas production of The Phantom of the Opera, Kristen Hertzenberg has proven her ability to sing anything in her concerts, performing music ranging from opera to Broadway to blues. As one writer at the Las Vegas Weekly stated, "Hertzenberg reaches out to her audience with so much personality, skill, emotion, and vocal power that it's no surprise Desert Companion Magazine named her Best Torch Singer."
Raised in the Houston area, Hertzenberg studied at the University of Texas and earned a master's degree in opera at the Longy School of Music in Boston. She also studied at the Austrian American Mozart Academy in Salzburg, Austria and was a first place winner in the National Opera Association competition. After spending two years touring Europe in the musical Hair, she moved to Las Vegas for Phantom where she played her dream role in over 1000 performances. She has also enjoyed playing Sophie in Terrence McNally's Master Class, Heidi in [title of show], and starring as Dyanne in the long-running Las Vegas production of the Tony award winning musical Million Dollar Quartet.
As a featured soloist, Hertzenberg performs on pops concerts with various symphonies and offers her cabaret evenings in venues across the country. She also created two dynamic shows spotlighting her vocal versatility and performed them several times a year on the main stages aboard the Celebrity Cruises and the ultra-luxury cruise line Seabourn. In Las Vegas, she was a regular in The Smith Center's prestigious Cabaret Jazz room, performing to sold-out audiences both with her band and with acclaimed pianist and Broadway veteran Philip Fortenberry. The two previously collaborated on their album Holidays from the Heart, available on Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon Music, and other online streaming services.
Hertzenberg's vocal versatility is impressive and her genuine personality brings a warmth to her performances that leaves audiences wanting more. For these and many other attributes, critics have called her delivery "perfect" and her voice "gorgeous" and "limitless."
