By Francisco Salazar

The Staatsoper Unter den Linden has announced a cast change for its production of Puccini’s “Tosca.”

The company said that Jennifer Rowley will sing the title role replacing Aleksandra Kurzak.

The soprano has performed the role at the Metropolitan Opera, New Orleans Opera, Philadelphia Orchestra, Semperoper Dresden, and Opera de Marseille, among others.

In a statement, the soprano said, “I am thrilled to be jumping in again at the Staatsoper Berlin tomorrow night in my signature role of Tosca!! A little over a year ago, I jumped into their gorgeous production of Il Trovatore and when the call came to return, I was overjoyed! This time I have a bit more notice and a bit more rehearsal! I can’t wait to share the stage with my friends Joseph Calleja and Ambrogio Maestri tomorrow night in Berlin!”

The performance will be conducted by Ivan Repušić. Kurzak returns to the production on April 7, 2024.
