Giselle Bellas is a versatile performer and writer whose work seamlessly blends elements of opera, pop, Latin music, and musical theater. Born to Cuban immigrants, she splits time between Orlando and Jersey City, where she regularly collaborates with the local arts community. Giselle's unique storytelling through music has been showcased on FX, HBO, Netflix, and PBS. Her band is made up of Broadway musicians, Grammy nominees, and internationally touring artists.
In 2024, her performances took her to India, Italy, & throughout the U.S. She wrote & directed “The Florence Foster Jenkins Schubertiade Review,” a one-act pop musical that merges her classical roots with modern musical expression. She had a sold-out performance at Jersey City Theater Center on March 8, 2025. The one-of-a-kind show premiered at the Orlando International Fringe Festival in May 2025.
2026 has featured a variety of new works for Giselle. She premiered “Impersonators,” a one act play, at the 2026 Orlando Fringe Winter Mini-Fest. “Miss Bellas,” Giselle’s musical about a dystopian-era pop star, premiered at Orlando International Fringe Festival at The Renaissance Theater in May. “Miss Bellas” was a critical success and won the Orlando Sentinel’s “Best of Fest 2026.”
In June 2026, “Las Hermanas,” an original Latin musical theater experience, premiered at the Jersey City Theater Center Voices International Theater Festival. The Jersey City Times called it “... a testament to the enduring relevance of Latin American heritage.” The article went on to say of Giselle, “[w]hether she’s singing or dancing, she projects a winning blend of glamour and wide-eyed goofiness that is without precedent... If she didn't exist, we'd have to invent her."
Giselle has performed in iconic venues worldwide, including Carnegie Hall and the House of Blues. Her festival performances include Asbury Park Pride, Jersey City Pride, Jersey City’s Fourth of July Festival, and Immerse Festival.
