The heart thrills to read about these role debuts for Mary – a colleague and FABULOUS soprano.  From her web site – Mary Dunleavy

At the Metropolitan Opera, her artistic home since 1993, she appears in two highly contrasting roles. In the Company’s celebrated Julie Taymor production of Die Zauberflöte, she sings Pamina on January 21 (a matinee performance heard around the world as part of the Metropolitan Opera International Radio Network), 24, 27, 30 and February 3. Long remembered for her portrayal of The Queen of the Night, a role she recently retired, this marks the first time she sings the more lyric part there. It also represents only the third time in Met history that a singer has sung both characters; her two eminent predecessors were Colette Boky (1973) and the late Lucia Popp (1981). On these occasions, Ms. Dunleavy’s colleagues include Erika Miklósa as the scheming Queen of the Night, Eric Cutler as her rescuer, the steadfast Tamino, Nathan Gunn as the charming, but cowardly, bird catcher Papageno, Julien Robbins as the prudent Speaker, and Morris Robinson as the all-knowing high priest Sarastro; Paul Daniel conducts. Met audiences also have the opportunity to hear and see Ms. Dunleavy on February 23 in her most celebrated role, Violetta, in La traviata. Sharing the stage with her are Jonas Kaufmann as her ardent suitor Alfredo and Anthony Michaels-Moore as the stern, but sympathetic, elder Germont; the conductor is Marco Armiliato. Audiences in Amsterdam, San Francisco, Barcelona, among other cities, have previously experienced Ms. Dunleavy’s mesmerizing portrayal of the doomed demimondaine.
