In spite of always being busy, Inessa Galante returns to Riga annually, and each her performance turns into a great event in the musical life of the city. Ms Galante says: “I want to take you into my world”. There is the main feature of the singer’s personality hidden in these words, and that is the ability to let everybody reveal his inexperienced aspiration to perceive the beauty of music.

 

Inessa Galante performs on the greatest opera stages of Europe and USA. She is invited to sing in the most prestigious concert halls of Switzerland, Belgium, Luxemburg, Australia, South Korea, France and Holland.

The disc Arietta was recognized by BBC to be the best in the nomination of classical music. The disc of opera arias by Tchaikovsky (BMG, the Royal Opera orchestra, conductor N.Järvi) was considered to be exceptionally brilliant, marking out the Scene of Tatyana’s letter as the best interpretation of recent 20 years. The disc Arias from Verdi’s late operas got the GRAMOPHONE magazine editor choice. In 2002 worldwide sales of all CDs featuring Ms Galante exceeded 200,000.

Ms Galante cooperated with such famous conductors as Y.Menuhin, K.Nagano, Myung-Whun Chung, V. Gergiev, A.Pappano, S.Mercurio, M.Gomez-Martinez, V.Fedoseyev, N.Järvi, E.Klas, V.Sinaisky etc.

In 2003 she performed Aida for the first time on the Latvian National Opera stage and in the guest performance of the LNO in Moscow.
