About

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.
— David Shengold, Classical Voice North America
As Maria, soprano Teresa Castillo blossomed over the course of the action’s 24 hours, letting the audience hear the character’s transition from a sheltered girl to a full-grown woman in love.
