By Francisco SalazarNadine Sierra will sing Gilda in “Rigoletto” at the Berlin State Opera.
The soprano took to social media to state, “It seems that I am coming to Berlin for ‘Rigoletto’!!!! I will not be performing on the 19th, but coming for the final four performances! I’m excited and glad that the Berlin State Opera has asked.”
Sierra will sing the performances between May 24 to June 4 alongside Francesco Demuro, Grigory Shkarupa, Anna Lapkovskaja, and Christopher Maltman. Giuseppe Mentuccia is set to conduct the production by Bartlett Sher.
