Teresa (Wells) is utterly convincing as the coquettish and scheming Maria
The Independent

Biography
Born in Suffolk, Teresa was a choral scholar at Selwyn College Cambridge whilst studying Archaeology. She then attended Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance where she gained an MMus in Vocal Performance with distinction.
Teresa has performed throughout the UK with The Merry Opera Company as a soloist in their acclaimed staged Messiah, as Rachel Harmon in Kiss me, Figaro! and in opera gala concerts. Other notable operatic roles include the title role in La Calisto, Maria/Mansfield Park, Messegiera/Orfeo and Tilly/The Secret Garden by Stephen McNeff. She has performed opera scenes including the title role in Arabella, Fiordiligi/Così fan tutte, Anne/Die Lustige Weiber von Windsor and Sophie/Der Rosenkavalier.
In oratorio and concert work, she has performed Bach’s St Matthew Passion, Handel’s Messiah and has given many solo recitals in venues such as St Bride’s Fleet Street, St Alfege Greenwich and Blackheath Concert Halls. She has extensive choral experience, including singing in the London Philharmonia student scheme and the London Philharmonic Choir.
Choral Conducting and Teaching
My teaching work is extremely important to me as I aim to pass on a love of singing and an understanding of vocal technique to both children and adults who I coach. I am a choir leader for Somewhere 2 Sing teaching exciting arrangements of pop, rock and musical theatre songs in three-part harmony. I work for Grange Park Opera in their Primary Robins scheme, teaching whole class singing in schools and introducing young children to classical music and opera. I’m also an Associate Tutor for Suffolk County Music Services with whom I teach choirs and individuals in secondary schools.
