Madame Butterfly at the Royal Opera House 

Next month, Ms. Grigorian returns to one of her most illustrious roles for the second time this season, Cio-Cio-San at the Royal Opera House in a co-production with the Gran Teatre del Liceu of Puccini’s Madama Butterfly. Following her acclaimed performance in Verona last autumn, she garnered high praise from L’Ape Musicale: “Grigorian has a full, healthy, firm vocality with an exquisitely feminine timbre, young but not immature. In addition, and this is what counts most, she has a propensity for conversational singing that seems innate and is, moreover, certainly well cultivated…” This time, Ms. Grigorian shares the stage with Joshua Guerrero as Pinkerton, Lauri Vasar as Sharpless and Hongni Wu as Suzuki.

Performances take place on March 14th, 19th, 23rd, 26th, 30th, and April 3rd. Tickets and more information can be found here.
