Elīna Garanča – My Favourite Melodies

Mezzo-soprano Elīna Garanča recalls the music behind her career highlights: from opera roles to songs from Spain and her homeland Latvia.

She struck the world of opera like lightning. "Garanča easily projects virility and positions the notes, whatever their register, like a darts player hitting the bull’seye", said The Times. In this exclusive episode of the documentary series "My Favourite Melodies", the Opus Klassik and Echo winning Latvian singer invites the audience to a more personal journey, revealing some of the highlights of her career and the music that made them so special. From Rossini's La Cenerentola to Bizet's Carmen, Strauss' Der Rosenkavalier, as well as melodies from Spain and her homeland Latvia, the film is a voyage into the personal music taste of one of the greatest opera singers of current times.
