Alfredo Carrillo
Alfredo Carrillo is an internationally acclaimed dramatic tenor whose rich, versatile voice and soaring range earned first-place honors at the prestigious Academia Opera Competition in Perm, Russia, Mexico City’s Olivia Gorra Contest at the National Center for the Arts, and top two tenors of the Seattle Opera Guild’s 2026 Singers Development Award Competition.
Known for his commanding presence in opera, romantic music, classic standards, and Mexican traditional repertoire, Carrillo has performed throughout Latin America, Europe, and the United States, drawing deep inspiration from the musical legacy of his hometown of Durango, considered the “Hollywood of Mexico” for its connection to the Golden Age of Cinema.
After two seasons of lead roles with Operísima, he joined Bellevue Opera from 2023 to 2026 in principal roles in La Traviata, La Bohème, and Carmen, including performances at Seattle’s Benaroya Hall and the Maydenbauer Theatre. He is also recognized as one of Mexico’s Top 12 Voices as noted at the Lunario del Auditorio Nacional. In 2025, he brought his powerful sound to New York’s Sunset Park, performing for an audience of 15,000.
With broad romantic crossover appeal, Carrillo performs in ten languages and has collaborated with renowned artists such as Plácido Domingo and many others. He is celebrated for his distinctive tambre, smooth falsetto, and exhilarating high D—qualities that resonate with fans of Pavarotti & José Carreras, Josh Groban, and Luis Miguel.
