Weinstein's operas with William Bolcom – "McTeague" (1992), "A View from the Bridge" (1999) and "A Wedding" (2004) – had their premieres at the Lyric Opera in Chicago. "View" was also presented by the Metropolitan Opera in New York City in 2002. The librettos for "McTeague" and "A Wedding" were collaborations with Robert Altman, who also directed the productions. Weinstein also provided the libretto for Bolcom's "Medusa: Monodrama for Dramatic Soprano and String Orchestra" which was premiered by conductor Dennis Russell Davies leading the Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra in May 2003, and the text for the composer's "music theater opera" "Casino Paradise", which was presented by American Music Theater Festival (AMTF) in Philadelphia in 1990, and, in a revamped version, by Lincoln Center's "American Songbook" series in 2005. Weinstein's texts were also set to music by Bolcom as "Cabaret Songs".
