Tereza Hnykova

I am a Czech actress, soprano, and performer with experience in film, television, musical theatre, opera, and commercial productions. I played the lead female role in the vertical drama series Yes Chef and starred in the musical The Phantom of the Opera. My screen credits also include episodic roles in the feature film Tender Waves (Něžné vlny) and the television series The First Republic (První republika). I trained in the Meisner Technique under Jim Jarrett at the Meisner Technique Studio in San Francisco. My vocal training includes participation in prestigious international opera programs such as the International Vocal Arts Institute (IVAI) in New York City and Curtis Summerfest in Philadelphia. Opera has been an important part of my artistic journey. I performed with Verismo Opera in San Francisco, where I sang leading soprano roles including Lauretta (Gianni Schicchi), Susanna (Le nozze di Figaro), Zerlina (Don Giovanni), and other principal roles from the classical opera repertoire. Alongside acting and singing, I have worked as a presenter and social media host, creating content for the international contemporary circus festival Cirkopolis. I have also appeared in numerous commercial campaigns, including a major campaign for Astratex. My work combines strong acting, vocal performance, and on-camera experience, allowing me to move seamlessly between film, television, theatre, opera, and digital media.
