Tonight at the Wiener Staatsoper, Puccini’s Madama Butterfly is perfomed by a new soprano who replaces Kristīne Opolais. Soprano Elena Guseva performs as Cio-cio-san, a role she already performed at Moscow’s Stanislavski Theater. Her repertoire includes different roles such as Tatiana in Tchaikovsky’s Eugene Oneguine, Donna Elvira in Mozart’s Don Giovanni, Leonora in Verdi’s La forza del destino or Mimì in Puccini’s La Bohème, a role she performs at Deutsche Oper Berlin.
