In 2017, she appeared in the role of Polinesso (Ariodante) at the Lübeck Theater.

She first appeared in Wiesbaden in 2014 and 2015 as the Voice from Above (Die Frau ohne Schatten) and the Old Lady ("Candide"), and she sang the Voice of the Mother (Les contes d'Hoffmann). Since then, she has been applauded in Wiesbaden in roles such as Mary (Der fliegende Holländer), Preziosilla (La Forza del Destino), Suzuki (Madama Butterfly), Mrs. Quickly (Falstaff), Orlofsky (Die Fledermaus), the Third Lady (Die Zauberflöte), Schwertleite (Die Walküre), Mrs. Sedley (Peter Grimes), Larina (Eugene Onegin), Erda (Das Rheingold), and Waltraute (Götterdämmerung).

In the 2017/2018 season, she sang Aliyah in the world premiere of S. N. Eichberg's Schönerland, as well as Adelaide (Arabella) and Ulrica (Un Ballo in Maschera). In the 2018-2019 season, she once again portrayed Larina, Suzuki, and the Old Lady. In the 2019/2020 season, she again appeared as Mrs. Sedley in Peter Grimes, the Third Lady in Die Zauberflöte, and Mary in Der fliegende Holländer. Also in 2020, she performed as Mamma Lucia (Cavalleria Rusticana) in Palermo with Roberto Alagna.

More recently in Wiesbaden, she played the roles of Frugola (Il Tabarro), Zia Principessa (Suor Angelica), and Zita (Gianni Schicchi), and the Countess in Pique Dame, Mamma Lucia in Cavalleria Rusticana, Jezibaba in Rusalka, and Komorna in Věc Makropulos.

RECENT REVIEWS

The COUNTESS in PIQUE DAME 2022-2023
"Perhaps that's why deep female voices are more enchanting. Romina Boscolo, in the role of the bald Countess (not a witch but icy-cold) [...] Boscolo, who almost stops time in her grand nostalgic aria [...] vocally, she is at the peak of her emotionally captivating performance." (Frankfurter Rundschau, Wiesbaden, 2022)

"Romina Boscolo in the role of the protagonist takes ownership of the scene of her memories, sending shivers down the spine with her deep and mysterious voice, while the director binds her to a wheelchair, almost immobile." (Der Opernfreund, Wiesbaden, 2022)

"Romina Boscolo, a luxurious Countess, is a contralto with a rich and highly timbred voice and a phrasing marked by the utmost expressiveness. This found its full realization in the pivotal scene of the second act, which culminates in her death." (Opera Click, Bari, 2022)
