Camille Ortiz

Puerto Rican soprano Camille Ortiz has garnered international acclaim, captivating audiences in opera and concert. A versatile artist, she equally thrives as a baroque specialist or with standard repertoire, all the while championing new works. The 2024-2025 season brought her mainstage debut with Seattle Opera as Pamina in the Barrie Kosky production of Mozart's The Magic Flute (Christine Brandes conducting; Erik Friedman directing). Other season highlights include a residency at Arkansas State University, performing a recital, masterclass, and coachings on Latin American art song; the soprano soloist in Ars Lyrica Houston's Crossing Borders (Spanish and Latin American baroque program); and the soprano soloist with Bambulaé Barrocá at Houston Early Music, a new baroque ensemble given to Puerto Rican and Afro-Caribbean early music. She has appeared with Opera Lafayette in a Kennedy Center debut, Boston Baroque, Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra and Chorale (Nicholas McGegan conducting), Portland Baroque Orchestra (John Butt conducting), Portland Chamber Orchestra, Oregon Bach Festival (Jos van Veldhoven conducting), San Diego Early Music Society, Arizona Early Music, Opera Orlando, Eugene Opera, Gulfshore Opera, Dallas Bach Society, Festival of the Aegean in Greece, and at Carnegie Hall with Midam International. An avid recitalist, she holds a keen interest in art song, particularly of underrepresented composers. She was the soprano soloist for the premier of Colin Pip Dixon’s Invocation with The Elsewhere Ensemble, and currently serves on the voice faculty at University of Oregon, School of Music and Dance.
