On May 12, Elīna Garanča makes her stage role debut as Dalila in Camille Saint-Saën’s Samson et Dalila at Wiener Staatsoper. Conducted by Marco Armiliato, the Latvian mezzo-soprano performs alongside tenor Roberto Alagna, with whom she has shared the stage many times in Carmen.
This month, Elīna performs in concerts in Europe and the US, beginning with Mahler’s Third Symphony on February 25, 26, and 27 at Staatskapelle Dresden. Conducted by Christian Thielemann, the performance will be broadcast on MDR Kultur and MDR Klassik on February 27 at 8:05 p.m.
On February 16, 19, and 21, Elīna Garanča returns to perform her iconic Carmen at Bayerische Staatsoper. For the last decade, Elīna has performed as Bizet’s sultry heroine in opera houses around the world, including the Metropolitan Opera, the Royal Opera House, and Paris Opera.
In her first book, Elīna Garanča talks about her life between two different worlds: between East and West, roots and wings, children and career, talent and self-discipline, art and life.
