Hannah Wheeler

Grounded in the development and embodiment of character, Hannah Wheeler imbues her roles with emotion and depth. Her diverse performance repertoire has provided Hannah with the ability to grow into a true operatic storyteller. With the freedom to fully bury herself in the roles she portrays, she is able to captivate audiences with a fully immersive and engaging experience.

Hannah’s wide range of solo, choral and operatic roles has only grown throughout the years. Last season she was Hansel in Little LOON’s production of Hansel and Gretel. She also just completed the role of Tooty Fruity (Beauty and the Beast) with Opera for the Young. Her previous roles include: Assan (The Consul) with Angels Vocal Art where she also covered The Secretary, Dr. Bartola (The Barber of Seville) and Madame and the Fairy Godmother (Cinderella) with Opera for the Young, Third Lady (Die Zauberflöte) with Music on Site, Miss Todd (The Old Maid and the Thief) with Chicago Summer Opera, La Cercatrice II (Sour Angelica) and covered Zita (Gianni Schicchi) with Music on Site, and Ramiro (La finta giardinier) and Alma (Little Women) with Chicago Vocal Arts Consortium.  She has also performed and curated multiple recitals with operatic, jazz, and musical theater compositions throughout her native Hoosier state. She was recently awarded the Victoria Livengood Award of Distinction (2023) for her preparation, progress and performance.

Ms. Wheeler finished her Master’s Degree in Voice Performance from Chicago College of Performing Arts at Roosevelt University (2018), where she studied with Allan Glassman and she completed her undergraduate degree in Vocal Performance from Belmont University (2013).

Ms. Wheeler’s upcoming projects include returning to LOON for their production of Jake Heggie’s The Radio Hour in the Radio Choir and she is thrilled to be performing Jezibaba in LOON’s 2024/25 touring season of Rusalka. For more information on Hannah, visit hannahwheelermezzo.com.
