Television audiences have one more chance to celebrate with Deborah Voigt this holiday season. Tonight, Friday, December 19, the Grammy Award-winning soprano returns to the small screen when PBS/THIRTEEN broadcasts her special guest appearance in Christmas with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, recorded live in concert last season, and now also available on both CD and DVD. (Check your local PBS listings.)

Voigt, who has her sights set on a future Broadway debut, recently perfomed in concert at Carnegie Hall with Tony winner Kristin Chenoweth. She also made an appearance last month at Orlando's BROADWAY & BEYOND, alongside Sierra Boggess, Norm Lewis, Chris Mann and more.

Voigt returns to television screens when PBS premieres Christmas with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, which captures her special guest appearance in the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra's annual holiday extravaganza last December, when she sang before combined audiences of 80,000 people in Salt Lake City. Her renditions of the English carol "The Holly and the Ivy" and the lighthearted "The Twelve Days After Christmas" crown a program of seasonal favorites that also includes a dramatization of "A Dickens Christmas": soaring overhead in a dazzling scene of aerial choreography, British actor John Rhys-Davies stars as the Ghost of Christmas Present.

As Voigt explains:

"The holidays are always my favorite time of year and I'm overjoyed when I have the opportunity to sing Christmas music in concert. Performing with the iconic Mormon Tabernacle Choir and John Rhys-Davies made the experience extra special for me."

Her performance in CHRISTMAS WITH THE MORMON TABERNACLE CHOIR is now also available from PBS on both CD and DVD.

On the heels of her holiday broadcasts, the New Year brings the fruition of Voigt's most personal project to date: the HarperCollins publication of her candid, funny, soul-baring, and utterly compelling memoir, Call Me Debbie: True Confessions of a Down-to-Earth Diva. A heartfelt, inspirational story offering devastatingly honest insights into the life of an outstanding artist and a remarkable woman, the soprano's literary debut hits bookstores on January 27. In the meantime, Call Me Debbie may be pre-ordered from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, BAM!, and Indie Bound, while further information is provided at HarperCollins.
