Elīna Garanča Concert
Stunning elegance, profound intelligence and a clear diction, a noble timbre and a perfect voice control from the lowest to the highest registers make Elīna Garanča’s performances as artistically memorable as the sensual passion glowing from inside the characters she portrays on stage.
Introduction
Since her debut as Annio in La Clemenza di Tito, conducted by Nikolaus Harnoncourt at the Salzburg Festival 2003, Elīna Garanča’s career carried this stunning Latvian mezzo-soprano forward steadily, but with increasing speed and growing admiration throughout the world. It has become rare in our times for a singer to develop so smoothly from Mozart’s sultry Dorabella to Wagner’s musically and artistically exceedingly demanding Kundry. And all this without bypassing the great Italian belcanto and the more dramatic Verdian repertoire, the world of song and symphonic works for voice with orchestra, and without hiding a special love for that special form of Spanish musical comedy, Zarzuela.
Stunning elegance, profound intelligence and a clear diction, a noble timbre and a perfect voice control from the lowest to the highest registers make Elīna Garanča’s performances as artistically memorable as the sensual passion glowing from inside the characters she portrays on stage.
The Opéra de Monte-Carlo is extremely proud to introduce Elīna Garanča in an evening of wonderful highlights from her greatest roles, which are as varied as her repertoire is wide. Conducting the Orchestre Philharmonique de Monte-Carlo, we have the pleasure of welcoming back the Hungarian conductor Henrik Nánási. Among others, he was chief conductor of the Berlin Komische Oper during the era Barrie Kosky, celebrated by audiences and the press for its daring and colourful productions.
