Carla López-Speziale, Mezzo-soprano
Mezzo-Soprano Carla López-Speziale, recognized for her “beautiful, warm voice with a secure and soft top and a powerful low register” (Basler Landschaftszeitung, Switzerland), is equally in demand for opera, zarzuela and concert performances, and is equally comfortable in oratorio and chamber music.
Some of López-Speziale’s most notable roles are Carmen in Carmen—a role she has performed in the United States, Mexico and China—Dalila (Samson et Dalila), La zia principessa (Suor Angelica), Isabella (L’italiana in Algeri),
Rosina (Il barbiere di Siviglia), Mitrena (Vivaldi’s Montezuma), Orfeo (Orfeo ed Euridice) Jo (Little Women), the Old Lady (Candide), and Baba the Turk (The Rake’s Progress).
She was featured in the world premiere of Dazzi’s En susurros los muertos in Mexico City, as well as its European
premiere in Basel, Mulhouse and Strasbourg.
López-Speziale holds a Bachelor of Music Degree from the National Conservatory in Mexico and received Master and Doctor in Musical Arts Degrees from the Manhattan School of Music as a fulbright fellow.
