TONI MARIE

PALMERTREE

TRULY
REMARKABLE.

"Toni Marie Palmertree, who portrayed Floria Tosca, delivered a truly remarkable performance. Her voice was powerful, clear, and expressive, capturing the complex emotions of the character with ease. Palmertree's acting was equally impressive, embodying Tosca's fiery temperament and vulnerabilities masterfully."

ABOUT TONI
MARIE
.

American soprano Toni Marie Palmertree has garnered attention for her "tender, expressive voice" (SF Examiner). She recently appeared in the title role of Luisa Miller with the Lyric Opera of Chicago, earning praise for her "artistic approach to this challenging role, thoughtful and professional presentation of her vocal part, and the natural beauty of her voice" (Chicago Herald). She has made numerous leading role debuts with the San Francisco Opera, including Nedda (I Pagliacci), Liù (Turandot), and Cio Cio San (Madama Butterfly). This season, she joined the roster of The Metropolitan Opera, returned to her signature role as Cio Cio San, and made her house and role debut as Donna Elvira (Don Giovanni) with Arizona Opera.

TOSCA WITH ARTURO CHACÓN CRUZ, FLORIDA GRAND OPERA

VIVID & RIVETING.

"The title role is a larger-than-life embodiment of a theatrical star coping with passionate emotions and loyalty to her lover and his cause. Toni Marie Palmertree proved a lyric Tosca who is fully equal to the role’s demands. She brings a playful charm to her initial scene with Cavaradossi but her fiery temperament can flair to jealousy with conviction. Palmertree’s voice is even throughout a wide range and she can caress long phrases while her strong top notes cut through the orchestra clearly. She vividly projected Tosca’s agony at seeing her lover tortured in the second act. Palmertree’s rendition of “Vissi d’arte” was passionate, as much a prayer as a plea. Near the opera’s conclusion, her narrative of Scarpia’s murder proved riveting."
