Meet Opal
Possessing a contemporary, passionate, and fiery R&B sound, exceptionally gifted vocalist Opal Staples can best be described as a fusion of Aretha Franklin, Alicia Keys, Jill Scott and Etta James.
Her career has skyrocketed quickly, and she is a highly sought-after force in Chicago’s thriving music scene. Opal has an incredible ear for harmony, and has recorded several projects with Toni Braxton, Ramsey Lewis, Anne Nesby, Crystal Lewis, and Kelly Price. She can be heard with R. Kelly on the 'Batman' movie Soundtrack, and most recently seen in a live video performance with Seal.
One of the most popular studio artists in the Midwest, her voice is featured on several national television ad campaigns for McDonald’s, as well as radio jingles for countless products including Breyer’s ice cream and Orville Redenbacher’s popcorn. Guests enjoying the Chris Sarlas Orchestra are consistently awed by Opal's vocal prowess, vivacious personality, and infectious energy.
