Queen of Opera looks to make big changes to live performances

The Queen of Opera is not just a woman who sings, but an entire company. D’Andrea Pelletier and her husband Drew have a vision.

“We are doing something entirely different,” D’Andrea Pelletier said. “We both have this bigger vision of not just me as the solo artist, although right now that is what we do.”

The company is still in the budding stages here in Orlando, but they are working on the big picture.

“Our company will run the entire show,” D’Andrea Pelletier said. “Run all aspects of it from the musicians to the other singers and bring in amazing talent and have something that’s an all-in-one exclusive experience — not just the singing, but the dancing and the pageantry.”

Typically opera singers go from opera house to opera house or different venues singing different roles and the rest is put together by a team.

This team is what D’Andrea Pelletier said is the mission of the Queen of Opera, but it’s more than just being an entrepreneur.

“Everything about opera is about the emotion and however it comes out,” the experienced vocalist said. “You know, a lot of people think of their traditional cliche opera, as you know, a woman in a Viking hat. Although there is some of that, and composers like Vogner, there’s so much beauty that, unless you really explore it, you don’t really get to experience it.”

Pelletier has years of experience and has performed on many stages. She’s also a University of Central Florida alum.
