Albanian American Soprano Singer Ermonela Jaho has decided to return to perform at The Metropolitan Opera in New York.

She confirmed this through a post on her Facebook.

“Traviata was the first opera I saw when a teenager, which inspired me to become an opera singer. I promised myself, I will not die without singing it at least once in my life. From that moment in Albania until now I have sung this opera 301 times. I gave so much from myself to this character to the point that I thought I don’t have more to give to Violetta. After my last production in 2020, I realized how much I missed this music just by hearing a few bars. I am back now at the The Metropolitan Opera to challenge myself and rediscover my heart, my soul by matching it with Violetta’s incredible one. Lucky to have such a wonderful team around Ismael Jordi as Alfredo, Armatuvshin Enkhbat as Germont father, Marco Armigliato and everyone involved. Let’s take this spiritual journey together…” – Jaho wrote on Facebook.
