Andrea, who studied in Rockhampton, has most recently appeared among the featured vocalists in South Africa's lavish OperaMania production.

She said OperaMania was "a phenomenal show to be a part of".

"The scale of the production was huge and the material was wonderful and fresh," she said.

South Africa's Beauty and the Beast production will be performed at the Monte Casino Teatro.

"We open at the end of September and run until the end of April next year including a run in Cape Town at the Artscape Opera house," Andrea said.

"The show is being produced by Pieter Torien and Hazel Feldman in association with the Disney team. Pieter Torien is the same man who produced The Lion King in South Africa and has produced many other productions in collaboration with Cameron Macintosh.

Andrea will commence 6 weeks of rehearsals in August, leading up the the opening.
