Courtney Berg
August 4, 2010
Courtney is a mezzo-soprano, who embraces her destiny to play pants roles. Before she became passionate about her desire to become a classical vocalist, Courtney sang in church choir, The Calgary Youth Choir, and partook in as many music festivals (Kiwanis), and community theatre shows as she could. Her involvement in choir has brought her to places like London, Germany, Austria, Cuba, and many destinations across Alberta. Her solo career has brought her as far as France, where she hopes to return several more times.
Courtney moved to Okotoks in order to attend the Alberta High School of Fine Arts. There she was indeed inspired to continue performance and enjoyed her first major role as "Sandra Dee" in the musical Grease. Her next adventure brought her to Lethbridge, where she completed her Bachelor in Music. During her time there, she performed Dido (Dido and Aeneas), Marcellina (The Marriage of Figaro), and various other cabaret and one-act theatre shows. This past season, she enjoyed her first opportunity to be on stage with Calgary Opera in the production of Manon. Her next scheduled adventure will take place in London Ontario where she will pursue her Masters in Music at the University of Western Ontario. After that, the sky's the limit and she and her husband will go wherever the wind takes them.
Listen to Courtney.
