Collaborating Artists 
Born in Madrid in 1935, Spanish mezzo soprano Teresa Berganza is an international ambassador for Spanish repertoire. A noted interpreter of Spanish songs and zarzuelas, she currently performs recitals and teaches masterclasses in auditoriums and institutions around the world. Berganza began her international career in the late 1950’s, and has since performed at all of the world’s major opera houses. She is celebrated above all for her roles in Rossini operas. In particular, her Rosina in Rossini's "Il Barbiere di Siviglia" has been universally praised for the youthful glow and vivacity of her interpretation. Her virtuosity and refined technique, along with the bewitchingly mellifluous timbre of her voice, have elevated her to the rank of one of the leading mezzo sopranos of our time.
