D. Maria Teresa do Carmo de Noronha, (November 7, 1918 – July 5, 1993) was a Portuguese aristocrat and a fado singer. Maria Teresa de Noronha’s particularity in fado is due to her voice, expressive force and her synchronization with the instruments. Her beautiful, natural soprano voice, rigorously tuned, was always superbly positioned either in low or high pitches and was provided with an unmatched agility and capacity to elaborate intricate melodic ornaments with precision.
