Alyssa Weathersby is a New York-based director\/choreographer, vocalist, and arts educator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working within a larger nexus of live performance, Alyssa’s ability to wear many hats has honed her strongest creative gift: communication. Her ability to ‘bridge the gap’ lead to focus on creative direction and leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a director, Alyssa’s stylistic staging is often hailed as “cleverly designed” and “compelling.” Over this past season, Alyssa directed Opera in the Heights’ Lucia di Lammermoor<\/em> and joined the NYC early music ensemble TENET to direct the pastiche Ariadne, Unbound<\/em>. Last season, Alyssa returned to UFOMT where she choreographed Anything Goes<\/em> and served as Co-Director\/Choreographer alongside George Pinney for Guys & Dolls<\/em> and Little Shop of Horrors<\/em>, directed the world premiere of Hildegard, Reborn<\/em> with the NYPL at the Lincoln Center, directed Opera del West’s La Divina<\/em>, and directed and choreographed the regional premiere of James Shirley and John Locke’s Cupid & Death<\/em> with Early Music Access Project at the famed Blackfriars Playhouse in Staunton, VA, where she previously directed their production of Venus & Adonis<\/em> in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other highlights include directing the sell-out productions of Rigoletto<\/em> (Opera in the Heights) and L’elisir d’amore<\/em> (Boston Opera Collaborative), devising and directing an updated Cos\u00ec fan tutt[i]<\/em> (Carnegie Mellon University), and joining the New England Conservatory to direct Hansel & Gretel<\/em> and the Undergraduate Opera Scenes<\/em> and selections of the graduate Perkins Opera Scenes<\/em> programs. Alyssa has also served as staff at the international festival Prague Summer Nights (director, choreographer, fight choreographer).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
