Notable successes have included Roxana in Kasper Holten’s new production of Krol Roger under Antonio Pappano, marking her Covent Garden debut, and Agnès in her return to the theatre in George Benjamin’s Written on Skin.

This season brings Ms Jarman’s BBC Proms debut singing Szymanowski’s Love Songs of Hafiz with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra under Ilan Volkov and her first appearance at the Venice Biennale Musica opening the festival in staged performances of Benjamin’s Written on Skin. She returns to the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden as Musetta in Richard Jones’s production. 

Last season Ms Jarman’s collaboration with George Benjamin included in Katie Mitchell’s production of Lessons in Love and Violence, marking company debuts with Staatsoper Hamburg and Opéra National de Lyon. She also returned to the role of Agnès at the Beijing Music Festival under Lawrence Renes as well as with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra at the Elbphilharmonie under George Benjamin.
