Alfredo Carrillo is an acclaimed dramatic tenor whose voice and soaring range have earned first-place honors at the Academia Opera Competition in Perm, Russia, Mexico City’s Olivia Gorra Contest at the National Center for the Arts, and recognition as a top two tenor in the Seattle Opera Guild’s 2026 Singers Development Award Competition.
Known for his presence in opera, romantic music, classic standards, and Mexican traditional repertoire, Carrillo has performed throughout Latin America, Europe, and the United States. He draws inspiration from his hometown of Durango, the “Hollywood of Mexico.”
After two seasons of leading roles with Operísima, he joined Bellevue Opera from 2023–2026, performing principal roles in La Traviata, La Bohème, and Carmen at Benaroya Hall and Meydenbauer Theatre. In 2025, he performed for 15,000 people in New York’s Sunset Park.
Carrillo performs in ten languages and has collaborated with artists including Plácido Domingo. Celebrated for his timbre, smooth falsetto, and exhilarating high D, he appeals to fans of Pavarotti, José Carreras, Josh Groban, and Luis Miguel.
