Mezzo-soprano Anna Alàs i Jové (Terrassa, 1980) is experiencing one of the finest moments of a career developed primarily in Germany. On July 6th, she will make her debut in the title role of the opera Carmen from Bizet to Heidelberg, with stage direction by Anja Kühnhold. In addition to a notable operatic career, Anna Alàs i Jové is a magnificent liederist, a facet in which she leads proposals such as Catalan lyrics, with pianist Laura de Arenzana, and Ladies of Egara, a project with pianist Maxim Shamo that includes gems like poems by Marta Pessarrodona set to music by Elisenda Fàbregas. "They're four very beautiful songs, and during the studio I had to stop because I was bawling my eyes out," she explains in an interview with ARA in the cafeteria of the Palau de la Música.
