Marina Costa-Jackson

One of the most sought-after sopranos of her generation — launched by a rare Met Council triple win and internationally acclaimed for her portrayals of emotionally complex heroines. Italian-American Marina Costa-Jackson brings a radiant vocal presence and dramatic insight to the iconic roles of the operatic repertoire. She has earned acclaim in both Europe and North America for her performances as Tosca, Mimì (La Bohème), Fiordiligi (Così fan tutte), Tatiana (Eugene Onegin), Violetta (La Traviata), and Giulietta (Les Contes d’Hoffmann).

Notable recent debuts include Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, where she was praised for her “lustrous tone” as Giulietta; LA Opera as Mimì, described as “hauntingly beautiful”; and Seattle Opera, where she portrayed both Fiordiligi and Tatiana with dramatic intensity and vocal elegance. Her international appearances include Desdemona in Otello at the Savonlinna Festival, later touring to the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow, and returning to Tokyo’s New National Theatre, where she sings La Bohème in 2025 after performing Donna Anna in Don Giovanni.

The second-eldest Costa-Jackson sister, she joins Ginger and Miriam in their 2019 Seattle concert triumph, their Sicilian roots fueling passionate artistry. Costa-Jackson received top honors at Operalia, including the Zarzuela Prize, and received the Maria Callas Award from The Dallas Opera. Her commanding presence and radiant voice captivate audiences worldwide, from the Bolshoi to Covent Garden, heralding new triumphs.
