Biography

Roslyn Reeves Rich

Roslyn Reeves is a coloratura soprano known for her clear tone and virtuosity on stage. A native of Salt Lake City, Utah, Roslyn’s musical journey began long before her first operatic role. From an early age, she immersed herself in piano, violin, voice, and dance lessons, spending countless hours preparing for piano and voice competitions, fiddling concerts, clogging competitions, and musicals. By the time she graduated high school she had been in numerous orchestras, choirs, festivals, and shows both in her school, church, and personal community. She developed a deep love for connection through music, and the impact live music can have on people's lives.

​Roslyn received multiple scholarships for both academics and voice from the University of Utah, where she earned her Bachelor’s degree in Vocal Performance. During this time she discovered her passion for opera and the thrill of mastering challenging repertoire in roles such as Despina in Mozart’s Così fan tutte, the Witch in Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas, and the Ghost of Christmas Past in a student-written production of A Christmas Carol. She was also a member of the undergraduate Michie Quartet, Early Music Ensemble, and the University of Utah's esteemed Concert Choir directed by Barlow Bradford.

Continuing her artistic and pedagogical growth, Roslyn completed her Master of Music in Vocal Arts at Temple University’s Boyer College of Music and Dance, focusing on both performance and pedagogy. At Temple Opera Theater, she covered La Fée in Massenet’s Cendrillon and Dalinda in Handel’s Ariodante. Outside of school, Roslyn was a young artist at what is now the Utah Valley OperaFest where she was seen at Atalanta in Handel's Serse, and was featured in their opera scenes program as well as a spirit in Massenet's Cendrillon. She also performed at the Grand Teton Music Festival in a production of Mahler's Symphony No. 5.

In addition to her stage work, Roslyn has appeared as a concert soloist in choral-orchestral works such as Mozart’s Regina Coeli and Requiem, a cover in Poulenc’s Gloria, and Craig H. Johnson’s Considering Matthew Shepard. Her repertoire includes virtuosic concert arias like “Glitter and Be Gay” from Bernstein’s Candide and Zerbinetta's Aria from Ariadne auf Naxos as well as musical theater songs like "The Girl in 14 G.". She has sung the national anthem at numerous minor league and college sporting events such as the PAC 12 Gymnastics National Championships, the Salt Lake Bees, Grizzly Hockey, and University of Utah Basketball.

A passionate educator as well as performer, Roslyn currently serves as voice faculty at Temple University’s Music Preparatory Division, where she teaches both group voice classes and private lessons. She delights in helping students of all ages discover the joy and confidence that come from learning to use their own voices. Her teaching philosophy centers on the belief that singing is both an art and a source of personal freedom, and she strives to make music a meaningful part of each student’s life.

Beyond singing, Roslyn is an accomplished pianist and violinist, having studied both for over sixteen years. She is also skilled in competitive clogging, ballroom, and jazz dance, and brings her experience as a church choir director and children’s music teacher. When she isn't performing or teaching, she loves spend time with her family and friends hiking, swimming, crafting, and watching movies or football.
