Teresa
Italian-Canadian soprano Teresa Tucci is recognized for her vibrant stage presence, vocal agility, and versatility across opera, concert, musical theatre, and on screen.
In the 2026–27 season, Teresa joins Edmonton Opera as an Emerging Artist, participating in the Dawson City Summer Residency and Yukon Arts Centre outreach tour while making her company debut as Erste Dame and covering Pamina in Die Zauberflöte. Recent engagements also include joining Manitoba Opera's Digital Emerging Artist Program, making her role debut as Eurydice in Orpheus in the Underworld with Toronto City Opera, and appearing as the soprano soloist on Sound the Alarm's Canadian tour of Music of the Night: The Music of Andrew Lloyd Webber.
Teresa's operatic career has encompassed both standard and contemporary repertoire. Career highlights include Moira in The Handmaid's Tale at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity, covering the role of Asprano in Vivaldi's Motezuma as a Studio Artist with Opera Neo in San Diego, and role debuts as Despina (Così fan tutte), La Fée (Cendrillon), Elena
(Il cappello di paglia di Firenze), and the title role in Martín y Soler's L'arbore di Diana. Early in her professional career, she starred as Christine Daaé in Opera on the Avalon's production of The Phantom of the Opera, marking the beginning of a career that has continued to span opera, musical theatre, and commercial performance.
On the concert stage, Teresa has appeared as the soprano soloist in Handel's Messiah with both the Toronto Choral Society at Koerner Hall and the Guelph Chamber Choir. A recent alumna of the Rebanks Family Fellowship and International Performance Residency Program at The Royal Conservatory of Music, she performed Handel's dramatic cantata Armida abbandonata, and Vivaldi's In furore iustissimae irae, with members of Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra. Her additional concert appearances include performances with the Orillia Concert Association, Metropolitan United Church, Yorkminster Park Baptist Church, and the Gibson Classical Concert Series.
Equally at home beyond the opera stage, Teresa has cultivated a multifaceted career in musical theatre and screen. While completing her studies at Sheridan College, she collaborated with Canadian composers through the Canadian Musical Theatre Project and was later invited to perform their work at Feinstein's/54 Below in New York City. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she remained active through numerous virtual concert initiatives, including the Omni Arts Foundation's Lean on Me series benefiting COVID-19 relief, and performances supporting mental health awareness with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra and Oakville Symphony Orchestra. Her work has also extended to film and television, with credits including Season 7 of Discovery Channel's Fear Thy Neighbor and hosting Family Channel's Project Pet.
Teresa was recently named a semi-finalist in the Lyndon Woodside Oratorio-Solo Competition presented by the Oratorio Society of New York and was awarded Third Prize at the 16th International Opera Singing Competition City of Brescia – Tribute to Maria Callas. She is also a past Arizona District Winner of the Metropolitan Opera Laffont Competition. Additional distinctions include an Encouragement Award from the Camille Coloratura Awards, recognition as a Laureate of Jeunes Ambassadeurs Lyriques, and First Prize in the Nouvelles Étoiles Vocal Competition in Paris.
Teresa holds an Artist Diploma in Opera from the University of Toronto, a Master of Music in Vocal Performance from the New England Conservatory, and an Honours Bachelor of Music Theatre Performance from Sheridan College.
