Biography

The Austrian-Spanish conductor Teresa Riveiro Böhm is establishing herself as an emerging force in the orchestral and operatic world. The winner of the Neeme-Järvi- Prize at the Gstaad Menuhin Festival in 2019, she has gained significant experience conducting orchestras and opera companies throughout Europe and Australia.

The 24/25 season sees Riveiro Böhm make her English National Opera debut in November, as she leads eight performances of a new production of Donizetti’s Elixir of Love at the London Coliseum. She will also return to Welsh National Opera to conduct performances of Verdi’s Rigoletto in venues across the UK, after her recent success leading the company in their new production of Magic Flute.

Later in the season she will return to BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra after her highly successful debut in 2023, to lead a programme of Bacewicz, Strauss and Rachmaninoff, as well as make debuts with the Symphonieorchester St. Gallen, the Orquesta de Córdoba, the Orquestra Sinfónica Metropolitana, and the RTÉ Concert Orchestra.

  • "The orchestra’s new ‘find’ is the young Austrian-Spanish conductor Teresa Riveiro Böhm...she possesses an exemplary technique, a very keen musical understanding, and the coolest temperament."

    In Daily, October 2022

  • “Teresa Riveiro Böhm, a young conductor new to me, directs the score so infectiously – so dancily- that it’s hard to keep still in your seat as you listen: although this is an opera I’ve known almost fifty years, I testify that the brio and phrasing on Friday’s opening night made both my insteps and my spine respond kinaesthetically.”

    Slipped Disk, November 2024

  • "Only under the direction of [Neeme-Järvi Prize] winner Teresa Riveiro Böhm did the listener experience this lightness at Strauss - especially mastered by the great Carlos Kleiber - without any hint of superficiality."

    Anzeiger von Saanen, August 2019

  • "Schubert’s Fifth Symphony proved to be a gift for Riveiro Böhm... the performance thrived on shared inspirational openness and spontaneous energy between conductor and orchestra."

    Ian Julier, ArtsDesk, May 2022

  • “Teresa Riveiro Böhm conducted the Opera Australia Orchestra with clarity and an impressive sense of style, at all times achieving excellent coordination between pit and stage."

    Australian Book Review, January 2024

  • “There's a further important company debut in the pit from Austrian-Spanish conductor Teresa Riveiro Böhm, who understands exactly how to keep the rhythms flowing while never allowing them to become mechanical. The orchestral playing is suave and delicate, yet offers plenty of punch where needed.”

    The Stage, November 2024

  • "Austrian-Spanish conductor Teresa Riveiro Böhm provided a sparkling rendition of Mozart's score in her Sydney Opera House debut... she quickly won over the Sydney audience with her expansive conducting style."

    Australian Arts Review, January 2024

    The Article, November 2024
