Rebecca started her professional singing career with the Florentine Opera Company in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It was there that she solidified her love of classical music and most especially, Italian opera. She made her international debut with the Opera in Italy program in June 2018, singing repertoire ranging from Monteverdi to Puccini. Rebecca has most recently been singing with early music ensembles throughout the metroplex including the New Spain Orchestra.

Along with teaching and directing a wide range of operas and musicals, Rebecca has performed the roles of Hansel in Hansel and Gretel, Octavia in L’incoronazione di Poppea, Dorabella in Così fan tutte, Jo in Little Women, Amy in Company, The Wicked Stepmother in Into The Woods, and Venus in L’incoronazione di Poppea. Rebecca has been featured as a soloist with many professional choral ensembles with performances including Handel’s Messiah, Vivaldi’s Gloria, and Bach’s Saint Matthew’s Passion.

Preceding her pursuit of opera and vocal pedagogy, Rebecca served for 13 years as a music educator and choral conductor in Texas public schools, earning multiple sweepstakes and advancing her students to UIL and Texas State in choir, solo and ensemble and music theory. This previous teaching experience enabled her to pinpoint the need for a well-rounded and saturated experience in arts education. Students of Nunez-Stubbs are able to fully engulf themselves with sound vocal pedagogy, solid foundational theory and engaged performance opportunities that give them the edge of preparation for success in a performance field. Many of the classes and projects that she leads are geared to involve the students in the art that they perform as an integral part of societal development and a reflective expression of current and past events. In the matter of her voice student’s , Rebecca has put forth and embraced a holistic approach.

"Rebecca is wonderful at teaching singing to kids. My daughter loves singing and Rebecca shows her fun ways to warm up and perform a song."
