World’s Biggest Opera Star In Croatia

One of the world’s biggest opera stars is coming to Croatia to perform. Mezzo soprano Elīna Garanca, who grew up in Latvia, will hold a concert at the Vatroslav Lisinki Hall in Zagreb on 21 January as part of her European tour.

Elīna Garanca (36), who studied in Vienna and the United States, has performed on world stages as Carmen in Bizet’s Carmen, Charlotte in Werther, and as Octavian in Strauss’s The Knight of the Rose. In 2008, she made her debut at the Metropolitan Opera in New York as Rosina in The Barber of Seville.

It will be Garanca’s first performance in Croatia.
