Danielle McKay
With credits spanning opera, oratorio, and music-theatre, Danielle is as intricately faceted offstage as on. She holds a Doctor of Music degree in Vocal Performance from The Catholic University of America, where she now serves as an adjunct voice professor. She teaches vocal technique at the prestigious Duke Ellington School of the Arts, where she also directs the “Sophisticated Ladies” vocal ensemble. Also a certified Yoga instructor, she teaches at Georgetown Law. She loves the outdoors as much as the stage and classroom, and dotes on her tuxedo cat, Ellington.
Danielle, a lyric coloratura from Buffalo, NY, is hailed as having “stunning high notes that resound and float delicately in her upper register” (D.C. Metro Theater Arts). Danielle enjoys singing music of many genres and feels at home on the opera, concert, and musical theater stage.
Excited and grateful, Danielle looks forward to contributing to bringing Ceasar & The Mannequin to life at such a critical time in our history. She deeply thanks the rest of the cast, the production team, and the creators for the hard work and passion they've poured into this project.

She is looking forward to singing with the Washington National Opera in the (R)evolution of Steve Jobs next year.
