NELLIE RUSTICK MEIER

NELLIE RUSTICK MEIER is a soprano whose voice has been praised as "exquisite" and "simply delicious". Critics have stated that “Rustick has an exceptional instrument. Her voice is something unusually special and wonderful.” 

During the 2025 - 2026 season, Rustick will again work with composer Michael Dilthey and Greylock Opera Collective, creating the role of Elisabeth in the new work Girl in the Air, a musical based on the stories of the Bhagavad Gita. They will be performing / recording selections of it at MCLA. Later in the season, Rustick will again return to Tundi Productions, singing the role of Gerhilde in Die Walküre as part of their summer Wagner Festival.  Various concerts are still being scheduled for throughout the year.

“A stunning performance … truly one of the stars of the show in every way … so impressed with the poise, comfortable flexible singing, and dramatic presence onstage.

Just a really memorable performance”

Noah Palmer, Conductor

“The famous 'Ride of the Valkyries' that opens Act 3 was a showstopper that creatively positioned extra singers on the balcony to enhance vocal power.  Incidentally, it was unforgivable that the night's best female voices…were hidden among the valkyries' octet, in comparatively small roles.”
Evan Berkowitz, The Berkshire Eagle

“Don Juan is pursued by a woman he has despoiled and won't marry, Elvira. She is a stranger in a strange place, beautiful and sincere. She is well played by Nellie Rustick whose scenes are both effective and affecting. She journeys from classically moving to critically disarming.”

J. Peter Bergman, Berkshire Bright Focus
