She has been a frequent soloist at Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall (Mozart “coloratura passages, which she rendered with admirable ease and purity” - New York Times), and has performed with opera companies throughout Europe, the United States, and South America. The American soprano’s personal favorites include Toronto’s Opera Atelier, Cincinnati Opera, Orlando Opera, and Opera Memphis. Additionally, she has been featured soloist with such symphonies as the Prague Philharmonic, Mostly Mozart Festival, Charleston Symphony, Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra, the Ridgefield Symphony (“delightfully flirtatious as Musetta in the lyrically lovely Waltz Song from Puccini’s La Bohème and tearfully imploring as Lauretta in O mio babbino caro from Gianni Schicchi” – Ridgefield New-Times).

She is a popular instructor among Greenwich High School students, and has worked with many of the school’s top voice students. “I’m thrilled to work with the next generation of singers. It reinvigorates my love of music, and it excites me to see many of my students win prestigious vocal awards and scholarships.”
Originally from Wilmington, Delaware, Ms. Windle attended the Mozarteum (Salzburg, Austria), the University of Delaware, and the Britten-Pears School for Advanced Musical Studies in Aldeburgh, England. She now resides in Stamford, CT with her husband, published playwright and filmmaker, Mark Bellusci, and their two children, Nick and Nina.
"Her timing, gestures, and control of her fine soprano earned well deserved bravas.”
