Hello There!

Rachel Weinfeld has found a home for herself as a versatile crossover singer in the opera and musical theatre worlds. Noted for her outstanding comedic timing and vocal versatility, Rachel has had the opportunity to sing some of musical theatre’s great leading ladies including Amalia Balash in She Loves Me, Maria in The Sound of Music, Marian Paroo in The Music Man, and Phoebe D’Ysquith in A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder. A true triple threat, Rachel has performed across the midwest in everything from Shakespeare, to new works, to a Rockette-style Christmas show, and musicals of all kinds. She made her concert debut singing Julie Jordan in “The Bench Scene” alongside Nathan Gunn and has also sung with the Vermont Symphony Orchestra.

A Michigan native, Rachel completed her Bachelor’s of Music in Voice Performance at Ball State University under the tutelage of Meryl Mantione and her Master’s of Music in Voice Performance at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, studying with Metropolitan Opera regular Yvonne Gonzalez-Redman. She currently studies with Phantom’s Raquel Suarez Groen and Tony Award-winning voice teacher Joan Lader. 

Offstage, Rachel has a passion for Pixar movies, curling up with a good book, whacking tennis balls across a court, spending time with loved ones, and sharing her love of music through teaching and directing.

Thanks for stopping by this little corner of the interwebs! 

Let’s be friends!

July was pure, unfiltered, radiant JOY. 🌼 More OLO thoughts to come later, but for now here’s some moments I’ll miss feat: backstage shenanigans, beach trips, sweet reunions, puppy encounters, and one last bushel and peck for my chickad
“Let’s start at the very beginning, a very good place to start.” The end of Do Re Mi is always the moment on stage where I look out at the audience and go “WOW. I’m really doing the Sound of Music.” 🥹 I can&rsquo
