On Wednesday, July 17, 2019, the celebrated singer was declared “Outstanding Personality of Culture” by the Deliberating Council of La Plata.
The celebrated soprano of the Teatro Colón, was grateful for the mention and gave a speech before the authorities present where she said “It is a distinction that I value very much, mainly because of those who have provided much of their dedication for me to achieve it, first of all my parents with a very great sacrifice”.
She added “What I do with my life is simply to follow my vocation with all my passion, trying to better myself day by day, to achieve my goals, to reach as many people as possible, the result of this is the power of music”.
Finally, María Castillo de Lima affirmed that “art must be linked to the people” since “the Teatro Colón is a place of art for all the Argentine people, which should never be linked to any elite, because opera houses have always been for the people”, she concluded.
“They have touched my soul deeply, I thank my family and teachers for accompanying me in this difficult but wonderful career as an artist and also in my transformation from a personal point of view with my identity”. María Castillo De Lima
