Wirklich wichtig sind die Schuhe

The little blonde girl on the grandparents’ Latvian farm harvesting sugar beet. The energetic young woman who goes to parties and knows for sure: she wants to get to the top. The aspiring singer who struggles laboriously from octave to octave. The loving mother who leaves for the next opera performance with her daughter and nanny in the minibus. And the radiant mezzo-soprano who is celebrated in the greatest concert halls of the world. All of this is Elina Garanca.

In her first book, the star mezzo-soprano talks about her life between the worlds: between East and West, roots and wings, child and career, talent and self-discipline, art and life.
