Petra Berger, born Petronella Burger (Amstelveen, 23 October 1965), is a Dutch classical crossover singer, composer, and musical actress.

In 1987, Petra Berger and her sister Lida decided to compete on the television program Soundmixshow presented by Henny Huisman, reaching the finals with the song "I Know Him So Well."

After this show, the sisters were offered a recording deal and, under the name of Chess, soon had a modest hit with the song "Never Change a Winning Team," composed by Jeroen Englebert.

Shortly after the release of this album, Berger decided she wanted to pursue musicals and split up with Van der Hek, marking the end of her time as a member of Chess.

Having ended her career as a member of Chess in 1992, Petra Berger shifted her focus to perfecting her musical theatre skills.

In late 1993, theatrical impresario Joop van den Ende Theatre Productions asked Berger to come audition for the role of Johanna in the musical Sweeney Todd.

In 2000, Berger recorded some demos with producers Jeroen Englebert and Pim Koopman, one of which being the aria "O mio babbino caro" from Giacomo Puccini's opera Gianni Schicchi.

This album, produced by Jeroen Englebert and Pim Koopman, contained a fusion of classical and pop musical themes.

During the Night of the Proms concert series of the 2002 season, Petra Berger gained a significant deal of national acclaim and fame.

Besides the live concert, this DVD also featured behind-the-scenes footage of the tour, several music videos, and two short documentaries on the albums Eternal Woman and Mistress.

In October 2006, Berger was asked to sing two duets with the Italian star Andrea Bocelli during a concert in the Scandinavium in Gothenburg, Sweden.

The album touches on a wide variety of musical genres, including pieces written by Ennio Morricone and John Ewbank, for example, but also tracks originally performed by Herman van Veen and Simon & Garfunkel.
