Finnish soprano Karita Mattila ranks among the world’s great artists, recognized as much for the beauty and versatility of her artistry as for her striking stage presence. Her gleaming voice, which has graced the great opera houses from Salzburg to Met Opera, is perfect for The Broad’s intimate setting. Local opera fans will love her program, which features arias from Poulenc, Debussy, and Sallinen. “A class of her own” (Los Angeles Times).
