Director of the Belcanto Academy
Maria Teresa Uribe 

The hungarian soprano, was born in Santiago de Chile on 1949. She studied music in The Ferenc Liszt  Academy of Budapest. In 1978 she obtained her diploma as opera and chamber music singer, and as a vocal technique teacher as well. The same year she was hired by the State Opera House of Hungary, in which she performed  as a soloist until 2001. Between 1983 and 1986, she was invited to the Leipzig Opera where she sang leading roles in the following operas: Forza del Destino, Don Giovanni, Ballo in Maschera and Parsifal. Besides her duties as a soloist in Budapest, she sang in severals performances in the opera houses of Bulgaria Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Spain, Switzerland, Germany, England  Italy  and Columbia. Her extensive repertoire contains Dido, in Dido and Aeneas by Purcell, as well as Mozart roles such as Donna Anna in Don Giovanni, Arminda in The Finta Giardiniera, and Vitellia in La Clemenza di Tito, and the great veristic roles such as Tosca by Puccini.  She also performs  as  a  concert and oratorio singer, with a wide range of styles that goes from baroque  to the XXth century.

Maria Teresa constantly participates in the operatic scenes and concerts of Hungary and other countries. Today her voice is darker and voluminous,  a fact that allows her to also have a repertoire of mezzo`s leading parts such  as the Kindertotenlieder of Mahler, Verdi`s Requiem, and Bach`s  Passion according to Saint Mathew. In the autumn of 2002  she sang Il Tramonto of Respighi, a work for mezzo and string quartet. In 2008 with the Philarmonic Orchestra from Györ, she sang the premiere audition in Hungary of the composition of the israelian composer Aharon Harlap: "Letters weeping in fire"
