One of Herbert von Karajan’s favourite singers, who appeared at the Salzburg Festival as Pamina in 1967, is a true legend. She has appeared at all the major opera houses of the world, from the Vienna Staatsoper and Milan Scala through London’s Covent Garden to the New York Metropolitan, but she is also open to historically informed performance. Her list of conductor partners speaks for itself: Sawallisch, Kubelík, Doráti, Bernstein, Solti, Barenboim, Muti, Mehta and Harnoncurt, Rilling, just to mention a few. MÁV Symphony Orchestra and their principal conductor of the past two years, Péter Csaba – who had a distinguished career as a violinist – partner her in a selection of the most popular Puccini arias, Wagner’s astounding polyphonic conjuring trick, the overture to Mastersingers of Nuremburg, and a key Liszt work, the Faust Symphony.
