An American soprano fired by the Royal Opera House because of her weight has been rehired after undergoing stomach surgery and losing 135 pounds, her spokeswoman and the prestigious London theater said Sunday.

She now has a contract to return to the role in the 2007-08 season, a Royal Opera spokeswoman said.
