On May 16, 2019 Maria José Siri will make her house debut at the Hessisches Staatstheater Wiesbaden, singing Amelia in a special one-off gala performance of Un ballo in maschera as part of theater’s International May Festival. The performance will be conducted by Christoph Stiller, and will feature staging by Beka Savić.
