The soprano has performed with the company 31 times in productions of “Aida,” “Cavalleria Rusticana,” “Tosca,” and “Nabucco” and has been featured in two HD productions.

The Ukrainian soprano will star alongside Ermonela Jaho as Liu, Yonghoon Lee as Calaf, and Ferruccio Furlanetto as Timur. Marco Armiliato conducts the revival.

“Turandot” is set to be performed through May 14 with the May 7 performance set to be broadcast live in HD. The performance will also be broadcast on teh Toll Brother Radio Broadcast.
