Concert Sonya Yoncheva - Philharmonie de Paris (2024) - Récital Sonya Yoncheva - Philharmonie de Paris (2024)

Description

"Since their meeting, decisive for the young, then unknown voice, William Christie and Sonya Yoncheva have never missed an opportunity to share the stage together. This tailor-made program sings of a France of the Enlightenment full of vitality and Italianness.

Today an adored star of the international scene, the Bulgarian soprano regularly associates her name and voice with the most demanding roles in the romantic lyric repertoire. She also preserves, as a seasoned tightrope walker, her predilection for baroque opera and her first loves, sponsored by William Christie's Les Arts Florissants. In dialogue with her faithful stage companions, she borrows from the iconic figure of Marie-Antoinette her visionary view of the music of her time, her enlightened taste for transalpine song and her independence from Versailles. With a sovereign voice and the bearing of a queen, Sonya Yoncheva majestically crosses several decades of lyrical creation, spurred on by the Italians at dawn of the French Revolution."
