ABOUT
TIFFANY.
Tiffany Townsend has been praised for her “powerhouse soprano and expressive presence” (The Wall Street Journal) and “rich voice and interpretive talent” (Bachtrack). She is the recipient of the prestigious 2021 Richard F.

MAGNIFICENT.
"Tiffany Townsend may be a stand in [for Isabel Leonard] but she is magnificent as the furious Donna Elvira. The ovation she received at the final curtain was proof if more were needed."
