Soprano Marigona Qerkezi has been celebrated for her portrayal of Bellini’s Norma in Frankfurt, where Oper Aktuell praised her: “breathtaking, voluminous voice, which - alongside all its power in the outbursts - also brought the perfect technique for sustained, sublime pianissimi and long, ornamented phrases. Her wonderfully velvety, dark soprano unfurled with full splendour, a special radiance and bloom.”
Current engagements include her Royal Ballet and Opera debut as Leonora Il trovatore, Aida at Deutsche Oper Berlin, Teatro de la Maestranza, and Ópera A Coruña, and debut as Tosca at Copenhagen Opera. She reprises the title role in Norma at Oper Frankfurt, Palm Beach Opera, Prague National Theatre and performs Abigaille Nabucco with Savonlinna Opera Festival, Deutsche Oper am Rhein, and Teatro Municipal de São Paulo where she will also make her role debut as Lady Macbeth Macbeth.
Other appearences include Aida with the Polish National Opera and Dubai Opera, World Premiere of Pucciniana at Opera Royal de Wallonie where she also performed Verdi’s Messa da Requiem, Lucrezia Contarini I due Foscari at Teatro La Fenice di Venezia, Teatro Comunale di Piacenza, Teatro Carlo Felice di Genova, Manon Lescaut at Teatro Petruzzelli, Mimì La bohème at Teatro Lirico di Cagliari, where she also performed the soprano solo in Verdi's Messa da Requiem and Beethoven’s Symphony No.9.
Past performances include her debut at Ópera de Oviedo as Elvira Ernani, a role she performed also at Theater St Gallen and in Teatro Lirico di Cagliari, and her role debut as Anna Bolena at the Lithuanian National Opera. She has also sung the title role in Giovanna d’Arco at the St. Galler Festspiele, Leonora Il trovatore at the Verdi Festival in Parma and Croatian National Theater, Rosalinde Die Fledermaus in Bari, Madama Cortese Il viaggio a Reims at the Rossini Opera Festival and Gran Teatre del Liceu, and a televised Ernani from Cagliari, Mathilde Guillaume Tell at the theatres of Brescia, Cremona, and Como where she also perfomed Der Messias by Handel/Mozart, Contessa d’Almaviva Le Nozze di Figaro, Lucia Lucia di Lammermoor in Bari, Cagliari, Pisa and Kiel, Gilda Rigoletto, Queen of the Night at the Royal Opera House Muscat, and Donna Anna Don Giovanni at the New National Theatre Tokyo.
