Soprano Whitney Wells, a native Houstonian, is excited to be back at Opera in the Heights! Last
season, she covered the titular role in Lucia di Lammermoor and sang in the chorus of the same
production. Praised by ArtsKnoxville for her “electric, high-energy, sassy portrayals” onstage,
Wells has enjoyed contracts with companies such as Marble City Opera, Knoxville Opera, The
Gilbert and Sullivan Society of Houston, Amadeus Chamber Ensemble, Operativo Houston,
Opera in the Ozarks, and Lawrence Opera Theatre. In 2022, she was featured as the soprano
soloist on the album Dreams Unseen with The University of Kansas Wind Ensemble.

Thanks for the shoutout, Houston Gilbert and Sullivan Society!!🤩

This past summer, I had the wonderful and unique opportunity to be a part of the First Presbyterian Church Chancel Choir Central Europe Tour! We performed in 4 beautiful churches in 4 different countries, and all our concerts were so well received by audiences💕 At our final concert in Prague, I stepped in to sing the soprano solo on Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Pie Jesu, and it was a dream.

Enjoy these photos from the tour!📷
