Paris, mon amour

Description

Airs by Gounod, Massenet, Lecocq, Offenbach, Messager, Verdi, Puccini Orchestra of the Valencian Community Conductor: Frédéric Chaslin "She is a star, she will be a diva." Le Monde, September 2013 (Donizetti: "Lucia di Lammermoor") "Here is an artist on the threshold of a major career: she adds to an adorable stage presence a sumptuous and penetrating voice." The New York Times, December 2013 (Verdi: "Rigoletto") "Sonya Yoncheva was the vocal highlight of the evening. Her ample soprano voice has an inimitable touch of bite, and at certain moments, one believes they can hear the indescribable charm of Mirella Freni." Die Presse, Vienna / May 2014 (Gounod: "Faust") The Opéra Bastille still resonates with the echoes of the splendid Lucia by Donizetti that Sonya Yoncheva sang there last season. She achieved immense success, she, the young Bulgarian soprano, winner in 2010 of the prestigious Operalia competition of Placido Domingo. She was previously revealed, as early as 2007, by the 'Jardin des voix', William Christie's singing academy. She was recently heard on July 14, 2013, at the famous Concert de Paris, under the Eiffel Tower, alongside Vittorio Grigolo and under the direction of Daniele Gatti. She is not entirely unknown here, and her love for Paris is now materializing with her first album, the entire repertoire of which either comes from the greatest French composers or features an action taking place in the capital (Verdi's Traviata, Puccini's Bohème). She will be a guest at the Victoires de la musique 2015 (live on France Télévision) next February, just before her recital at the Gaveau hall in Paris on February 6.
