soprano |
||||
| Soprano Terri Richter came to the
Northwest in 1995 from Tennessee, where she received her Master's degree
from Middle Tennessee State University. Since her arrival in Seattle, she
has become firmly established as an outstanding young opera and concert
artist. In October of 1997, she made her debut with Seattle Opera as
Barbarina in The Marriage of Figaro, returning in the 2000-2001
season to sing Papagena in The Magic Flute and Xenia in Boris
Godunov. Last season she appeared in their productions of Dvořák's
Rusalka and Verdi's Un ballo in maschera. One of twelve
young singers to be chosen for Seattle Opera's first national Young Artist
Program, Ms. Richter received critical acclaim and a scholarship award for
her portrayal of Despina in Così fan tutte. In September of 1999,
the Seattle Times named her one of Seattle's "Rising
Stars."
Ms. Richter is equally at home singing concert repertoire. She has been featured at Benaroya Hall with the Northwest Chamber Orchestra in Handel's L'allegro, il penseroso, ed il moderato and with the Seattle Symphony in concert versions of Deems Taylor's opera Peter Ibbetson and Strauss' Die Fledermaus. She has also appeared with the Spokane Symphony, Fort Collins Symphony, Walla Walla Symphony, Bellevue Philharmonic, Pacific Northwest Ballet, Northwest Sinfonietta, and Bremerton Symphony. With OSSCS, she has performed Handel's Brockes Passion and Israel in Egypt, Bach's Christmas Oratorio, Mass in B minor, St. John Passion and St. Matthew Passion, Monteverdi's 1610 Vespers and Stravinsky's Pulcinella. Ms. Richter recently released her first CD, Someone to Watch Over Me, recorded with the Northwest Sinfonia. |
