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 “heavenly soprano,” recent credits include: “The Bernstein Songbook” and Trouble in Tahiti (Opera Company of Middlebury), Johanna in Sweeney Todd (Vermont Rep), Maria in the Sound of Music, Julie in Carousel, Fiona in Brigadoon (Ohio Light Opera), Marian Paroo in the Music Man (Great Plains Theatre), and Phoebe D’Ysquith in A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder (Festival 56). She made her concert debut singing Julie in “The Bench Scene” from Carousel alongside Nathan Gunn and has also sung with the Vermont Symphony Orchestra.
A Michigan native, Rachel completed her BM in Voice Performance at Ball State University under the tutelage of Meryl Mantione and her MM in Voice Performance at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, studying with Yvonne Gonzalez-Redman and Sarah Wigley. Rachel has performed across the country in everything from Shakespeare, to new works, to Rockette-style Christmas shows, to operas and musicals of all kinds. In 2024, she was a semi-finalist in the prestigious Lotte Lenya Competition.
Offstage, Rachel has a passion for Pixar movies, curling up with a good book, whacking tennis balls across a court, and trying to keep up with her niece and nephew. Rachel currently resides in Burlington, Vermont where she is as an active performer and a sought after voice teacher and vocal coach, maintaining a private studio in addition to being an affiliate voice teacher at the University of Vermont.
