Toni Marie Palmertree

Soprano TONI MARIE PALMERTREE (Cio-Cio-San) has become recognized as one of America’s most riveting performers of Puccini and Verdi heroines. She has been heard on the stage of San Francisco Opera in the title role of Madama Butterfly; of her performance, Janos Gereben from San Francisco Classical Voice wrote: “The young soprano not only met the challenge, but she claimed her place among the finest vocal interpreters of the role heard here recently.” Other roles at San Francisco Opera include Nedda in I Pagliacci and Liù in Turandot. Planned engagements for the 2025-2026 season include a recital for Gradus ad Parnassum, a Valentine’s Day Concert with the Reading Symphony Orchestra, a return to OperaDelaware for a role debut of Maddalena in Andrea Chénier, soprano soloist in Beethoven’s Ninth with the Seattle Symphony, and a return to The Metropolitan Opera to sing the role of Cio-Cio-San in Madama Butterfly.
