One of the most sought-after sopranos today, Anja Harteros was born to Greek and German parents in a small town near Cologne. At the age of 18 she sang the role of the Countess in The Marriage of Figaro, but her real breakthrough came when she triumphed at the 1999 Cardiff Singer of the World competition, after which she received a string of invitations from opera houses in Frankfurt, Lyon, Amsterdam, Paris, Hamburg, Vienna, New York, Munich and Berlin, as well as to the Salzburg Festival. At the latter, she partnered Jonas Kaufmann in Verdi's Don Carlos, while she later performed songs by Schubert and Brahms in 2014. In addition to her career as an opera singer, she also regularly gives song recitals; besides Germany and Austria, this outstanding artist has won audience acclaim in this capacity in Boston, Florence, London, Edinburgh, Vicenza and Tel Aviv, and is one of the few performers with the ability to sing both Verdi and Wagner with equal skill. The world-renowned soprano's regular Verdi repertoire includes Violetta, Elisabetta, Amelia, Desdemona and Alice Ford, as well as the role of Leonora in both Il Trovatore and La forza del destino. In Wagner operas, she excels in the role of Elisabeth in Tannhäuser, as Elsa in Lohengrin, and Eva in Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg. At this concert, she will recall the most beautiful moments from this colourful, emotionally charged musical world, accompanied by the Pannon Philharmonic and a Croatian conductor who has been a regular fixture in German opera houses since 2010.
