Joélle Harvey To Sing Susanna In The Royal Opera's THE MARRIAGE OF FIGARO

Hanna-Elisabeth Müller has withdrawn from The Royal Opera's forthcoming production of The Marriage of Figaro and the role of Susanna will now be sung in all performances by Joélle Harvey.

American soprano Joélle Harvey made her Royal Opera debut in 2014, singing Lady Luck/Sicle in the Company's production of L'Ormindo at the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, Shakespeare's Globe. Recent engagements elsewhere include Cleopatra (Giulio Cesare) and Servilia (La clemenza di Tito) for Glyndebourne Festival Opera, Susanna for Pittsburgh Opera, Pat Nixon (Nixon in China) with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Almirena (Rinaldo) with The English Concert, Mozart's Requiem and Handel's Messiah with the New York Philharmonic, Mahler's Symphony No 2 with Cleveland Orchestra and Mahler's Symphony No 8 with BBC National Orchestra of Wales.

The rest of the cast remains the same.
