Biography

Rachel Liss

This year, soprano Rachel Liss will be completing her Masters in Voice and Opera at the Mannes School of Music. She currently studies under the tutelage of Arthur Levy, and previously studied with Ruth Falcon. Her most recent operatic role was with Mannes Opera, where, under the baton of conductor Daniela Candillari, she reprised a role she had earlier performed with the Oberlin Opera Theatre -- that of The Governess in Benjamin Britten’s The Turn of the Screw. She has also been seen as a Graduate and Dancer in Mannes Opera’s production of Kurt Weill’s Street Scene. Ms. Liss was heard, and will be heard again in 2021, at the Chautauqua Institution’s virtual festival this past summer, and was selected as the inaugural recipient of the Michel Sénéchal Memorial Scholarship to attend Classic Lyric Arts in France for the summer of 2019. Before returning to her beloved New York City, Ms. Liss attended Oberlin Conservatory of Music, where she received her Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance with a minor in Musicology. While at Oberlin, Ms. Liss was not only heard as The Governess in The Turn of the Screw, conducted by Christopher Larkin, but was also cast as Masha in Richard Wargo’s The Music Shop, and performed in Gene Scheer’s Words into Sound project, in coordination with Joseph Mechavich and Jake Heggie. She also sang as a soloist in F. J. Haydn’s The Creation with the Oberlin Mozart Players, and, for two consecutive years, in G. F. Handel’s Messiah with Credo Orchestra.
