For the past 15 years Adria has given talks and master classes throughout the world and is presently on the faculty at New Jersey City University. Whether Adria's audience is 12 or 12,000, she combines all of her talent, education and experience to enrich, enliven and enlighten her audience.

Adria is an award-winning singer and actress whose credits range from Carmen to Family Guy. She won a Carbonell for Best Actress in a Musical for Aldonza in Man of La Mancha, was voted Woman of the Year in Spoleto, Italy and was embraced in Spain as their immortal gypsy, Carmen.

After a singing career of that took Adria around the world, she withdrew from the spotlight to explore a deeper calling. After 4 years of study she graduated as a life coach in 2006 and added Reiki to her credentials in 2003. Adria’s constant quest for knowledge has caused her to explore first hand, other traditions and philosophies. Her spirituality is present in all she does, but it is a practical, everyday spirituality, with its feet planted firmly on the ground.

Adria’s speaking is colored by her passion for living, her music serves her message, and her point of view is as unique as her voice.

We women are the healers; we hold a chalice of love in our hands. That love is the greatest transformational power on this planet. In our embrace, our planet and its peoples will change one by one, day by day, until we leave a legacy of light for our children’s children and for many generations to come.

Hi there, I’m Adria (pronounced ODD-dreea) I LOVE to tell stories and I’ve got lots to tell. I’ve had the most fascinating adventures all over the world and even sang for the Desert Storm troops. I realized after all the incredible adventures I have had, what remains are the links I have made with people -- that touching of souls.

Only after I stopped traveling the globe did I discover another gift; I am a teacher. Life coaching is a perfect fit and enhances and deepens my ability to understand myself and others. I get so excited when I see someone experience an AhHa! moment and blossom right in front of my eyes.

I have a passion to communicate and I love sharing what I’ve learned.

Adria, have you got great pipes! Your expressivity is superb and you really know how to deliver a song. On top of that, you’re funny and you’ve picked first class music for this cabaret. It’s a winner.
-Michael Hirsch, Director/Actor/Composer

Keith Warner (Director, UK) says he wanted someone who could “sing like Maria Callas and act like Meryl Streep.” And in leading lady Adria Firestone, he thinks he has found her.
-Brisbane News, Australia

I cannot tell you how beautiful it is to see you continuing to move and inspire people as you have inspired me. . . I continue to marvel at your graciousness in success. I thank you for showing that it is more meaningful to raise others to the level to which you aspire than to stand on them as you reach higher.
