The Chicago native has also sung Leonora in Il Trovatore in Stuttgart, the title role of Tosca with Opera North and Dallas Opera, Leonora in La Forza del Destino at the Caramoor Festival, and Lucrezia in I Due Foscari with Opera Orchestra of New York.

La Bohème is conducted by Roberto Rizzi Brignoli in his Met debut and also features the company debuts of tenor Vittorio Grigolo as Rodolfo and baritone Fabio Capitanucci as Marcello. Maija Kovalevska is Mimì, and the cast also includes Edward Parks as Schaunard, Shenyang as Colline, and Paul Plishka as Benoît/Alcindoro.
