Anita Rachvelishvili

The Georgian ‘mezzo-soprano’ Anita Rachvelishvili is one of the most recognized singers of today. She began her international career in 1999 with her debut in ‘Carmen’ at La Scala with Jonas Kaufmann, under the baton of Daniel Barenboim, following her time at the prestigious academy of the Milanese coliseum.

It did not take long to reincarnate the emblematic role in theaters such as the Metropolitan, Deutsche Oper Berlin, the Staatsoper Munich and Berlin, the operas of Seattle, San Francisco, Chicago, Dresden and Rome or the Arena in Verona.

It has also been acclaimed at the Paris Opera, the Covent Garden and the Vienna Staatsoper, among other temples of the lyric. Her first album, which includes a selection of famous arias for ‘mezzo-soprano’, has received formidable praise from critics.
