New York, New York (February 5, 2025)—Conductor Joana Mallwitz makes her company debut leading Mozart’s classic comedy Le Nozze di Figaro for 13 performances beginning on March 31. Soprano Jacquelyn Stucker makes her company debut as Countess Almaviva, and mezzo-soprano Emily D’Angelo returns in her Met role debut as Cherubino, following her breakthrough performance as Jess in Jeanine Tesori’s Grounded, which opened the 2024–25 season.

The first of two casts stars sopranos Federica Lombardi as Countess Almaviva and Olga Kulchynska in her Met role debut as Susanna. Both making their Met role debuts are bass-baritone Michael Sumuel as Figaro and baritone Joshua Hopkins as Count Almaviva.

Mezzo-soprano Elizabeth Bishop and bass-baritone Maurizio Muraro reprise the roles of Marcellina and Dr. Bartolo, respectively.

Joining Stucker and D’Angelo in the second cast is soprano Rosa Feola as Susanna in her Met role debut. Bass-baritones Adam Plachetka and Luca Pisaroni reprise the roles of Count Almaviva and Figaro, respectively.
