Elīna Garanča is one of the greatest opera stars of our time, and in recent years has debuted on one great opera stage after the other. The blonde diva has enchanted audiences in New York, London, Vienna, Paris and of course Baden-Baden, where all were forced to sit up and take notice when she sang the role of Adalgisa in “Norma” alongside Edita Gruberova. Shortly after this she was quickly recognised as one of the world’s best singers. She sings whatever she wants with whomever she wants - and always with passion. 

Jonas Kaufmann is in no way inferior to her.  The German tenor has also graced all the great international stages, making a reputable name for himself along the way – particularly in the lieder and operatic fields. Audiences can truly look forward to two of the best-humoured top stars of the operatic world – even if it means having to wait for almost one year. Garanča and Kaufmann invite you to the 2013 Baden-Baden Gala!
