The Royal Opera

Antonio Pappano and Renato Balsadonna conduct two great casts led by Ermonela Jaho and Ana María Martínez in Puccini’s deeply poignant opera.

Following her recent acclaimed performances with The Royal Opera in the title role in Suor Angelica, Albanian soprano Ermonela Jaho sings the role of Cio-Cio-San for the first time at Covent Garden, following performances of the role for Paris Opéra, Berlin State Opera and Chorégies d’Orange. She shares the role with Puerto-Rican American soprano Ana María Martínez who sang Cio-Cio-San for The Royal Opera in 2015 and whose other recent roles at Covent Garden have included Alice Ford (Falstaff) and Donna Elvira (Don Giovanni).
