Among her most recent performances is the role of Maria in West Side Story at the American Gothic Performing Arts Festival in Iowa and Zerlina in Don Giovanni with The Opera Next Door in Brooklyn.

Deeply committed to her roots, Chiesa has a great passion for performing and promoting the Puerto Rican vocal repertoire.
