Krista Adams Santilli is a vocally stellar Nashville gem!! I’ve had the pleasure of watching Krista perform with Nashville Opera on multiple occasions for a few years now and to put it very simply, she’s the real deal!! Passionate, Professional, Polished, Tremendously Talented… just to name a few, are the traits that come to mind when describing Krista… book her!

April 1, 2014Amazingly gifted
Krista and her colleague Jodi both sung at my wedding. They were so professional and so gifted. They sung a very strong duet by Celine Dion and Barbra Steisand and they were absolutely mesmorizing. I am a very particular person and by my expectations they hit the nail on the head of what I had requested.
