A frequent "audience favorite (onStage Pittsburgh)", lauded for her versatility and commitment to performance building, soprano Wallis Lucas has quickly proven herself to be a young artist to watch.
Wallis is currently pursuing an Advanced Studies certificate at Carnegie Mellon University, where she will be working with voice, orchestra, and composition faculty to workshop new chamber and orchestral pieces. This year, you can also find her reprising her role as Morgana in Alcina, as well as making mainstage and touring debuts with Pittsburgh Festival Opera (Adriana Lecouvreur, Hänsel and Gretel).
In the 2023-2024 season, Wallis was thrilled to make a role debut this summer with Resonance Works as Albina in La donna del lago. Her 2023 season began with Carnegie Mellon University’s production of The Telephone (Lucy), and, this winter, she covered Caio Silio in Vivaldi’s Ottone in Villa with CMU. In July, she joined Chamber Music Collective for their early music festival with Cornell University's Center for Historical Keyboards.
In 2022, Wallis made a return to Chicago Summer Opera to sing Atalanta in Serse, then joined Opera Steamboat for their productions of Company (Kathy) and Lori Laitman’s The Three Feathers. She also completed her undergraduate studies in Greenville, South Carolina, singing Zerlina in Sarah Reese Lyric Theatre’s Don Giovanni.
Wallis traveled abroad in 2021 to attend Saluzzo Opera Academy, singing Barbarina in Le Nozze di Figaro. She also covered Morgana in Chicago Summer Opera’s Alcina. In 2020, she went to western Massachusetts to work with Double Edge Theatre in their summer Spectacle, studying movement theatre, devised work, and aerial arts.
Wallis holds a Bachelor of Music from Furman University, where she was the first to receive a Musical Theatre minor, and a Master's from Carnegie Mellon University, where she studied under Jennifer Aylmer. A Georgia native, Wallis was a state champion 2-baton twirler three years in a row.
