Celebrate International Women’s Day with Elīna Garanča – ‘one of the most sought-after singers on Earth’ (New York Classical Review) – as she brings to life some of opera’s most indelible heroines.

Tchaikovsky’s defiant Joan of Arc (The Maid of Orleans), Saint-Saëns’ proud Delilah (Samson et Dalila), Gounod’s ardent Queen Balkis (La Reine de Saba) and Bizet’s free-spirited Carmen all make heroic appearances.

‘Youthful conductor of genius’ (New York Times) Karel Mark Chichon leads the National Symphony Orchestra.
