One of the most remarkable artists of today’s world-opera scene, Lavtian mezzo-soprano Elīna Garanča will perform in Prague for the third time in September 2012.
The young mezzo-soprano Elina Garanča has quickly established herself as one of the music world’s stars through her performances with leading opera theaters and symphony orchestras around the world. She has captured critical and popular acclaim for her beautiful voice, intelligent musicianship, and compelling stage portrayals.
The 2010-11 season started with Ms Garanca embarking on a major European Concert Tour and making a return to the MET for a revival of Carmen. She also sang with the Berliner Philharmoniker & Gustavo Dudamel in a series of New Year (Silvester) Concerts. To complete the season, she will sing the role of Giovanna Seymour in Donizetti's Anna Bolena at the Gran Teatre del Liceu, Barcelona and at Zurich Opera, as well as performing in concert with Maestros Riccardo Muti, Paavo Järvi and Karel Mark Chichon and giving various recitals in Europe.
Highlights of Ms Garanča’s 2009-10 season included her critically acclaimed house debut in the title role of Bizet’s Carmen at the Royal Opera House Covent Garden. She reprised this role in a new production at the Metropolitan Opera which was broadcast in more than one thousand cinemas worldwide.
