Jennifer Larmore as Madelon in “Andrea Chénier” at the Deutsche Oper Berlin

One of the brightest operatic stars of the past few decades, Jennifer Larmore takes on the role of Madelon in “Andrea Chénier” at the Deutsche Oper Berlin on May 30, June 4 and 7, 2025. This John Dew production, conducted by Axel Kober, features a celebrated cast including Gregory Kunde in the title role, Sandra Radvanovsky as Maddalena di Coigny, and Pavel Yankovsky as Carlo Gérard.

Though brief in stage time, the role of Madelon is profoundly moving—an emotional anchor within the opera’s sweeping narrative of love and revolution. Since the work’s premiere, this poignant character has drawn many of the world’s leading mezzo-sopranos to its quiet intensity and depth.
