Jeysla Rosario Santos is a Puerto Rican soprano currently studying at the Curtis Institute of Music under Julia Faulkner. She made her Curtis debut in fall 2024 as Poppea in the East Coast premiere of The Comet / Poppea, and recently appeared as Soprano 1 in Infernal Angel and Savior, two new works by Amy Beth Kirsten.

In the summer of 2025, Ms. Rosario Santos was a Bonfils-Stanton Foundation Studio Artist at Central City Opera, where she performed scenes as Adina (L’elisir d’amore), Clorinda (La Cenerentola), and Almirena (Rinaldo). Other roles include Alcyon in The Seven Sisters and Chloe in The Book of Hours—both world premieres—with Miami University Opera Theater, as well as Belinda and First Witch in Dido and Aeneas, and Franca Naccarelli in The Light in the Piazza.

She is the recipient of several honors, including the Richard Miller Award for Best Overall Performance at Ohio NATS, First Place in the Miami University Undergraduate Artist Competition, and two-time recognition in the Hall Johnson Spirituals category at Ohio NATS. She has also been a finalist in the KCSB K-Art Song Competition and the Matinée Musicale Scholarship Competition, and a semi-finalist in the MI Opera Competition.

Ms. Rosario Santos has participated in training programs such as AIMS in Graz and the Schmidt Vocal Institute, and has worked in masterclasses with artists including Joyce DiDonato, Gordon Hawkins, Amanda Majeski, and Kevin Short.

Beyond technique, she finds joy in bringing her Afro-Latina heritage into her work. She is passionate about representing diverse voices in opera and believes in music’s power to tell stories that resonate across communities. She looks forward to continuing to grow, perform, and connect through her art.

She holds dual undergraduate degrees in Vocal Performance and Arts Management from Miami University and is currently pursuing her Master of Music in Opera Performance at the Curtis Institute of Music.
