Teresa Castillo
Soprano
About
Costa Rican-American Soprano Teresa Castillo has been hailed by the San Francisco Gate as a “standout, bringing [vocal] power and florid elegance,” and by Opera News for exhibiting “a clean, concentrated sound, and a lovely, intelligent musicianship.” She recently made her mainstage debut at the Lyric Opera of Chicago as Clorinda in La Cenerentola.

Acclaim
“As Crispino’s wife, the soprano Teresa Castillo sang her spirited, flirty showpieces mellifluously.”
“A career to watch (…) is that of Teresa Castillo, a bright-voiced, fearlessly agile coloratura in the pre-Callas mode — (...) She dispatched with aplomb the score’s many waltz tunes.”
“As Amina (…) Teresa Castillo exuded sweetness, making her heartbreak when she is accused of infidelity all the more expressive; the explosive ornaments in her joyous rondo felt well-earned.””
