On November 28, 1904, Nordica sang a new role. She appeared in a revival of La Gioconda with Enrico Caruso at the Metropolitan in New York.
Nordica opened the Metropolitan season of 1905-1906 in another Gioconda. This performance marked the debut of the famous gold curtain, and to show off its splendors, the great chandelier was kept lighted during the first act.
Nordica opened the new Boston Opera House on November 8, 1909 in La Gioconda.
