BIOGRAFIA
“How wonderful it is that the music world regularly gives us new and very talented artists. One of the very special ones is the Latvian mezzo-soprano Elīna Garanča who has already taken a significant place in opera theatres and concert halls. She is a great talent, has a beautiful voice and is an expressive artist with a great acting gift . . . Garanča has a very good vocal technique and carefully chooses the right repertoire in order to develop her talent. This will ensure her a great future” (Mariss Jansons).

Elīna Garanča was born in Riga in 1976 into a musical family. In 1996 she ­entered the Latvian Academy of Music in Riga. One of her most formative experiences came in 1998 while she was still a student: with only ten days’ notice, she performed the role of Giovanna Seymour in Anna Bolena and ­uncovered a deep affinity with the bel canto repertoire. After graduation she joined the Meiningen Staatstheater in Germany where she appeared in roles ­including Octavian in Der Rosenkavalier. In 1999 she also sang the role of Maddalena in Verdi’s Rigoletto at the Savonlinna Opera Festival and won the Mirjam Helin Singing Competition in Finland. She has since appeared at the world’s major opera houses and concert venues and established herself as one of the music world’s newest stars thanks to her beautiful voice, musicianship and compelling stage portrayals. In 2006 she received the European Culture Prize during a gala at the Frauenkirche in Dresden which was broadcast on German television; in 2007 she was honoured with an Echo Award for Aria cantilena – her first solo recording for Deutsche Grammophon, and the Three-Star Order from the Latvian State.
