Grigoryan’s season has seen her dodge announced Requiems with Riccardo Muti in Paris, Philadelphia, and London. Next season New York will get the 2022 Operalia winner in her two signature (and seemingly, only) roles, Mimì and Liu, and she will also venture into Traviata and Elisir in Muscat and Hamburg.
