Biography
[edit]Alessandra was born in Sorocaba, Brazil, the daughter of Noêmia and Emílio Maestrini. Alessandra liked early music, literature and art in general. As a girl, she used to create scenes, write, sing, dance, draw and direct her friends.
Already living in Rio de Janeiro, she took a vacation course with Cláudia Jimenez and at age 11 she went to the Tablado. She began to study singing at the age of 15. A year later she performed with the Company of Daniel Herz and Suzanna Krueger. At the age of seventeen she won a theater and music scholarship to study at the University of Evansville, in Indiana, United States.
Returning to Brazil, she entered the cast of the award-winning musical As Malvadas by Charles Möeller and Cláudio Botelho. From then on she did not stop anymore, alternating works between theater, television and cinema.
