Tess Altiveros

Noted for her "assured and glamorous soprano" (Opera Today) and “particularly soulful” interpretations (L.A. Times), soprano Tess Altiveros is equally at home in a wide range of repertoire from the 17th century to the 21st. Most recently, Ms. Altiveros brought her portrayal of Soldier in The Falling and the Rising to Des Moines Metro Opera, Arizona Opera, Intermountain Opera and Opera Memphis, as well as a return to Seattle Opera as Giannetta in L’Elisir d’Amore and Nana in the world premiere of A Thousand Splendid Suns. Recent concert engagements include Messiah with Boise Phil, Mozart Mass in C Minor with Seattle Pro Musica, Mozart Requiem with Evansville Philharmonic, Bach’s St Matthew Passion with Dame Jane Glover and Music of the Baroque, and the U.S. premiere of Ripper’s Cinco Poemas de Vinicius de Moraes with the Seattle Symphony. Upcoming engagements include Le Nozze di Figaro at Opera Idaho and La Bohème with Intermountain Opera.

A native Seattleite, Ms. Altiveros is proud to be a regular singer for all her hometown teams, including the Seattle Mariners, OL Reign, Seattle Kraken, and the Seattle Sounders.
