“What I want is to tell a story. I want to reach people and move them, to make them feel something, even when it is painful and difficult.”

Despite being at an early stage in her career, singer and musical theatre performer Feline Andersson has already made a strong impression. With her commanding stage presence and expressive voice, she has captivated audiences at the Göteborg Opera both as the witch Elphaba in the musical Wicked and in the demanding leading role of Kim in Miss Saigon. It was a role she had dreamed of playing ever since she first saw the musical at the age of thirteen in her hometown of Malmö.
