BIO
Born in São Paulo, the actress and entertainment executive has been working in the world’s most famous musicals for over ten years. For her talent, the artist is recognized for being cast in major Broadway franchises and working alongside highly esteemed producers such as T4F and Atelier de Cultura. Her resumé includes "The Addams Family", "Wicked", where she covered the role of Elphaba, "Les Misérables", "Annie", shining as Star-to-Be, and "School of Rock", covering for Rosalie Mullins and Patty DiMarco.
From an early age, she knew her destiny was to be on stage, starting her artistic journey at Graded School of São Paulo. Over the years, she honed her performance technique with great mentors such as Sara Sarres (BR), Mary Setrakian (NY), Fernanda Douglas (Liz Caplan Studios), Christian Fletcher (AMDA), David Brunetti, Lynn Wallis (RAD) and Christiane Matallo. In dance, she graduated in Classical Ballet from the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) at Lucianne Murta Ballet School. Academically, Roberta earned her Master’s in Leadership for Creative Enterprises from Northwestern University (Chicago) and her Bachelor's in Architecture and Urban Design from FAAP (São Paulo).
In 2021, Roberta produced her first show "Once Upon a Time", a musical spectacle that brought an enchanted fairy tale world to the Bradesco Theater. Here, classic songs received unforgettable renditions and arrangements conducted by Maestro João Carlos Martins and accompanied by his Bachian Philharmonic Orchestra. Thanks to this initiative, she is considered a pioneer in the live entertainment post-pandemic comeback in Brazil.
Currently, Roberta resides in the United States and leads her entertainment production company Rosa Entertainment alongside Sara Sarres.
