Feature article about Terri in the Seattle PI - May 3, 2002

Rising Stars

The clear, sparkling voice of soprano Terri Richter has been turning heads around the Northwest in the past two seasons, as a soloist with orchestras and as the perky Barbarina in Seattle Opera's "Marriage of Figaro." Now the former member of Seattle Opera's 1998 Young Artists Program has been cast as Papagena, a particularly winning role and a great opportunity, in Mozart's "The Magic Flute" this October.

It's a role that asks for youth, beauty and some very nice lyrical singing, and it should give Richter a chance to rise in both experience and visibility. A Tennessee native, Richter was a Metropolitan Opera regional finalist in 1996; her Northwest performance credits also include Civic Light Opera (Lily in "The Secret Garden") and concerts with the Northwest Chamber Orchestra, Seattle Symphony and Spokane Symphony Orchestra.
