Artemisia LeFay BIO
Artemisia LeFay is a mezzo-soprano and actress as well as a “cabaret resurrectionist” who specializes and delights in the European, dark, vintage, and obscure subspecies thereof. She is best known for creating and performing in GHOSTS OF WEIMAR PAST, a cabaret and revue inspired show filled with songs paying homage to the subversive and fringe communities resisting the regimes of fascism and nazism.
Her performance credits include The Actor’s Temple, Phillipstown Theater Depot, The Adelaide Fringe Festival, Narni International Music Festival, Don’t Tell Mama, The Slipper Room, and The Triad Theater. Artemisia is a 2021 Broadway World Cabaret Nominee for Best Show. 2022 performances include debuts at Birdland Jazz Theater, The Duplex and a return to The Triad.
“Ms. Lefay is classically trained with a fine rich mezzo that she employs with a purity of sound true to her training... at times; and like the women of her favorite era, the purity of Lefay's mezzo power will suddenly take a sharp left turn breaking away from making beautiful sounds in order to be realistic in a very underground way; exploring the heights and depths of what her very female voice can do.”— Broadway World
"LeFay was front and center displaying her glorious, well-trained mezzo-soprano. With her rich, sure vocals, LeFay is a top-notch interpreter of this work. It suits her and her enthusiasm and attunement to these songs."
—Theatre Pizzazz
"Many of us who are crawling out of our pandemic isolation might be ready to dive into hedonism—in the hope that it could serve as a tonic for the underlying rumble of fear we’ve lived with for the past year. Enter Artemisia LeFay’s timely Weimar-themed show at Don’t Tell Mama, Ghosts of Weimar Past, where we have a chance to revisit 1920s Berlin with its playful and simultaneously dark sensibilities..."
—Bistro Awards
“New Yorker Artemisia LeFay has devised a show in homage to all those Weimar artists whose creativity, ethnicity, and sexual preferences offended Nazism. Together with her pianist Renée Guerrero, LeFay presents a clever, chatty show of ten songs, half of which are in German.”
— Adelaide Now
