Mexican-American tenor Alexi Ortega Chavez, originally from Illinois but later raised in Atascocita, Texas, is set to graduate in June from Northwestern University, where he has pursued a degree in vocal performance under the guidance of Theresa Brancaccio. At the Bienen School of Music, Alexi has taken on numerous roles such as the title role in Bernstein’s Candide, Florville in Rossini’s Il Signor Bruschino, Gernando in Haydn’s L’isola disabitata, and A Soldier in Viktor Ullmann’s The Emperor of Atlantis. This past fall, he directed a student-led production of Massenet’s Cendrillon. Throughout his tenure at Northwestern, Alexi has been co-president of OPUS, the university's premier student-run opera company, since his freshman year. He has also been a member of Bienen’s Contemporary/Early Vocal Music Ensemble for three years and The Renaissance Singers for two years. Beyond his endeavors in performance, Alexi has designed their plan of study in stage direction for opera, where he has assisted in directing and stage managing several OPUS productions.
