Two years later, she sang the role of Cristal in a new version of the popular rock operaStarmania, which was created especially for the Festival d’été de Lanaudière (Quebec).

In 2009, after more than 20 years of a successful and eclectic career, Anne Bisson returned to her first love with a CD of her own musical creations, Blue Mind, in which she was accompanied by Normand Guilbeault (double bass) and Paul Brochu (drums). The critics were unanimous: Anne Bisson is a natural jazz artist!
