Internationally acclaimed diva Elīna Garanča returns to Ljubljana. Following her triumphant Salzburg Festival debut in 2003 in La clemenza di Tito with Nikolaus Harnoncourt, she signed an exclusive recording contract with Deutsche Grammophon in 2005. She won the prestigious Echo Klassik Award for Singer of the Year in 2007 and in 2013 the Vienna State Opera bestowed on her the honorific title of Kammersängerin. These are just a few of the outstanding achievements of this Latvian mezzo-soprano, whose peerless voice and commanding stage presence thrill audiences in leading opera houses and at important festivals around the world. In 2014 she utterly entranced the Ljubljana Festival audience when she appeared with the RTV Slovenia Symphony Orchestra. This year we can look forward to another remarkable evening of music, with selections from the Russian, French and Italian opera repertoire and Neapolitan songs, all conducted by the Romanian-born maestro Ion Marin, a noted operatic and symphonic conductor with an extensive discography on the most prestigious labels.
