Yanna Avis makes her mark with her theatrical technique, tongue-in-cheek delivery & sultry sense of humor. The Titian-tressed chanteuse knows how to land a baby grand with style; her sets, peppered with French, American, Spanish, Italian and German songs sizzle in any time zone.ÂHer unique style of international cabaret has made her a must-see in New York’s most prestigious rooms, including, The Firebird,  Maxim’s, The Supper Club’s “King Kong Room,” “Feinstein” at the Regency, The Metropolitan Room, CafĂ© Sabarsky and CafĂ© Carlyle.
At the invitation of maestro Gian Carlo Menotti, she performed at Italy’s famed Spoleto Music Festival. She was the first cabaret artist invited to the legendary festival and after overwhelming success was asked to return to perform at the “Cafe Chantant” on the Piazza.Â
On the foreign scene, she has performed in London at the Jermyn Street Theatre and in Mexico city.
Ms. Avis was trained at the National Conservatory of Dramatic Arts in Paris.  She performed in various productions both classical and contemporary, including John Guare’s “House of Blue Leaves”,  “Boeing-Boeing”, a big Broadway hit, and she appeared in films and plays on French Television.

Photo Coverage: Yanna Avis Brings Paris To The Grand Salon at La Goulueby Stephen Sorokoff - Nov 23, 2019
The audience that crowded into the Grand Salon at La Goulue had the best bargain in NYC last night. Their eyes, ears, and taste buds spent a night in Paris for the cost of a pre-fixe dinner and music charge. Yanna Avis created an evening of authentic French Cabaret that brings you to the glamorous place and time when the likes of Cole Porter and other artistic Americans lived in Paris. You didn't have to speak French to enjoy her show, but it seemed that most everyone in the room did, as they joined in when Yanna sang PADAM, PADAM, PADAM, and popular other Chansons. I don't think most of Yanna Avis's sophisticated and well dressed fans needed this special price for the experience as many of them have seen her perform in Europe as well.

Speaking French wasn't a requirement for a table at Yanna Avis' Cabaret show at the famed French Bistro La Goulue last night but it sure felt like everyone was fluent in the language. PADAM, PADAM, PADAM, an overflow audience could't resist the temptation to sing along with the alluring chanteuse at times who re-located the legendary New York City French establishment to Paris for the evening. Yanna made it a magical evening for all the patrons as they enjoyed the finest in French cuisine and the finest of French Cabaret.

Since her cabaret debut at Eighty Eight's in 1992, Yanna Avis has played every major room in New York and has become one of the most popular international artists, with a fan base that continues to grow. With her new show at 54 Below (on June 18), Make Some Magic, Avis demonstrated why she is so unique and renowned for classy interpretations of songs from the 1930s to 1940s. Singing in German, Spanish, English and French, Avis sauntered through an hour of what she called "my cabaret," which included her old-world deconstruction of seductive songs recalling an intimate boite style made famous by legendary divas famed for erudite and sexy ditties from a world we'll never see again.
