Tess Altiveros

Praised for “a ripe, sensual lyric soprano” (Opera News) and a “captivating combination of skilled singing and magnetic acting” (Pioneer Press), soprano Tess Altiveros is equally at home in a vast range of repertoire from the 17thcentury to the 21st, making her highly sought after for a wide array of concert and operatic work alike.  Her recent portrayal of E in Seattle Opera’s acclaimed O+E “stole the show” according to The Stranger, while her Euridice/Proserpina in the West Coast tour of Monteverdi’s L’Orfeo under Grammy winning conductor, Stephen Stubbs was described by Vancouver Classical Music as “an artful combination of facial expression, gesture, and vocal suavity…infusing both characters with tenderness and charm as well as dignity.” ther roles include Clorinda in Seattle Opera’s The Combat, Hannah in The Merry Widow (Inland Northwest Opera), Pamina in Die Zauberflöte (Pacific Symphony), Maria in West Side Story (Central City Opera/Boulder Philharmonic), Bach St. Matthew Passion (Colorado Symphony, staged), Donna Elvira in Don Giovanni (Skylark Opera Theatre), Musetta in La Bohème under the baton of Mo.  Andrew Litton (Colorado Symphony), Carmen in La Tragédie de Carmen (Skylark Opera Theatre), Susanna in The Marriage of Figaro (Angels & Demons Entertainment), Miss Jessel in Turn of the Screw (Eugene Opera) and leading ladies with Vespertine Opera Theater (Les Mamelles de Tirésias, La Voix Humaine, La Bohème). Tess also has been heard in a number of world premieres including Emerson Eads’s Princess Sophia (The Orpheus Project) Donald Skirvin’s Crimson Canticles, and will make her Carnegie Hall debut in the premiere of John Muehleisen’s Mother of Exiles in May of 2019.
