Patricia O'Callaghan

Patricia O'Callaghan

Patricia O'Callaghan (born in Dryden, Ontario, Canada) is a Canadian mezzo-soprano singer.

She spent her childhood in various Northern Ontario towns, considering whether her career should be in rock music or in a convent. Her first teacher was Rosannne Simunovic from Timmins. She eventually planned to become an opera singer and proceeded to Toronto and Banff for education and practice. But she would ultimately establish her career performing and recording European cabaret-style music by such composers Francis Poulenc, Erik Satie and Kurt Weill.

She was featured as a singing character on the 1999 CBC Television series "Foolish Heart".

Her 1999 album "Slow Fox" includes the first known English-language recording of Kurt Weill's "Langsamer-Fox/Algi-Song" and "Der Abschiedsbrief" (in English, "The Farewell Later"), as well as the second known English-language recording of his "Nanna's Song" (the first being done by Tammy Grimes on Ben Bagley's "Kurt Weill Revisited, vol. 2").
