On September 24, Elīna Garanča opens the 2018/2019 Metropolitan Opera Season, making her house role debut as Dalila in Saint-Saën’s Samson et Dalila.
Elīna last performed at the Met as Octavian in Der Rosenkavalier, a performance hailed by The New York Times as “a revelation.” Octavian marked a significant transition in the Latvian mezzo-soprano’s career, as she bid farewell to the trouser roles of her repertoire.
