The celebrated singer will make her long-awaited debut in the Main Hall of the theater, which had to be postponed last March due to the coronavirus crisis.
For this occasion, Ainhoa Arteta and pianist Malcom Martineau present an attractive program with pieces by Ludwig van Beethoven ('Six Geistliche Lieder, Op. 48'), Claude Debussy ('Clair de Lune' from the 'Suite Bergamasque'), Franz Liszt ('Three Petrarch Sonnets'), Johannes Brahms ('Intermezzo in E major, Op. 116, No. 4'), Manuel de Falla ('Seven Spanish Folk Songs') and Joaquín Turina ('Poem in the Form of Songs').
Acclaimed by audiences and critics alike, Ainhoa Arteta has performed at venues including the Metropolitan Opera in New York, the Washington Opera, the Deutsche Oper Berlin, the Teatro San Carlo in Naples, and the Arena di Verona. She is renowned for her extensive repertoire, which includes the most important soprano roles by Verdi, Puccini, and verismo composers, among others.
Ainhoa Arteta will return to Valencia next January to make her operatic debut at Les Arts in the role of Mrs. Alice Ford in Verdi's 'Falstaff', under the direction of James Gaffigan.
