I'm responding to Jarkko's reply cause couldn't find the tab for a new post.
Karita will have a Liederabend at Aix-en-Provence music festival on 22 July with Duparc, Dvorak, Rachmaninov and Madetoja, Kuula, Melartin & Merikanto etc. More info at http://www.festival-aix.com/fr/programme-2008/detail-d-un-spectacle/index.html?tx_espectacle_pi1%5BuidSpectacle%5D=13&cHash=323489b94c
Thanks for the update. Here's another one: http://www.carnegiehall.org/article/box_office/events/evt_10017.html?selecteddate=04042009
I just heard Karita sing Mirage in Berlin this week. It was just incredibly fantastic! Karita was in stupendous voice. Have to go and hear Mirage in New Year next year.
Thanks for the info on the New York concert. I will soon update the page accordingly.
I was at the world premiere of Mirage in Paris in March and as you said, she was fantastic. I really liked to song itself too :-)
Karita will appear in Munich in March 5, 6 and 8, 2009 with MPO and Christian Thielemann in a Strauss programme. Please see the website for more details under March 2009 at:
According to the October issue of Opera (the British opera magazine), Karita will be singing Katya Kabanova at the Chicago Lyric Opera from November 2009 on. No exact performance dates were given.
By the way, Karita's latest Salome at the Met was the most striking triumph she has achieved so far both vocally and artistically on stage. Just awesome! Saw her live on the last performance, Sat October 16th.
Thanks for the information! I saw her as Salome on October 7th and it was truly amazing...I think this cast is better than the one in 2004. So does she actually.
