Elle: French Opera Arias
Latvian star soprano Marina Rebeka’s album “Elle” is a celebration of female roles in French opera – and, as the album proves, these roles are many and varied. Rebeka sings music for women including Bizet’s Carmen, Massenet’s Chimène (Le Cid), and Gounod’s Marguerite (Faust), ranging from wild to innocent. The repertoire is wide-ranging as well, featuring familiar extracts and lesser-known gems. Michael Balke conducts the Sinfonieorchester St. Gallen.
