Alexis
Seminario

(She/Her) I am a singing artist. To me, being a singing artist means taking responsibility — whether I am interpreting someone else’s creation or communicating through a creation of my own, I believe to be a good artist you must take seriously the act of evoking empathy, openness, and inspiring emotional depth in others.

Alexis Seminario

American soprano Alexis Seminario is a singer-artist dedicated to sharing stories that empower people and inspire vulnerability. This season, Alexis returned to Palm Beach Opera as a Young Artist. This year, Alexis was a Finalist in Houston Grand Opera’s Concert of Arias and a Southeast Regional Finalist in the 2025 Metropolitan Opera Laffont Competition. In March she made her PBO stage debut as Annina in La traviata and covered the Countess in Le nozze di Figaro. Fresh off her engagements at PBO, Alexis will head west to The Santa Fe Opera as an Apprentice Artist where she’ll cover Miss Jessel in The Turn of the Screw and Ortlinde in Die Walküre. Alexis spent the 23’-24’ season with Palm Beach Opera as a Cornelia T. Bailey Apprentice Artist.

Her summer in Aspen, Colorado with the Aspen Music Festival and School was one for the books.

Alexis is a proud alum of the Houston Grand Opera: Young Artists Vocal Academy.

Engaging in projects that inspire social change is a pursuit that Alexis takes seriously. While obtaining her Master’s Degree at Bard College Conservatory, Alexis presented two passion projects. In collaboration with mezzo-soprano Sam Rauch, Alexis and Sam created a virtual recital film celebrating the lives and relationships of influential queer women authors that they named “I Bear Your Colors”. The concert was filmed in the drawing room of Hyde Park’s Vanderbilt Mansion. Her graduating recital explored the creation of a femme fatale through Innocence, Growing Up, Vulnerability, Betrayal, Revenge and Healing. (More information on both projects can be found under the projects tab.)

Concert work is another passion for Alexis. In September 2022, she was the soprano soloist in Dvořák’s Te Deum with the Richmond Symphony Orchestra led by Valentina Peleggi. Other concert credits include being the soprano soloist in The Orchestra Now’s performance of Brahms’ German Requiem at the Fisher Center and being a featured recitalist two consecutive years with the Bard Music Festival (Nadia Boulanger and Her World in 2021 & Rachmaninoff and His World in 2022).
