The soprano Sonya Yoncheva sings to Italy in the recital she will perform this Sunday, the 25th of April, at 6:00 pm in the Main Hall of the Palau de les Arts, with the piano accompaniment of Malcom Martineau.

For the fourth session of the cycle ‘Les Arts és Lied’, the Bulgarian diva offers songs and romanzas by Leoncavallo, Martucci, Tirindelli, Tosti, Verdi and Puccini in a journey through the main Italian composers who cultivated this genre in the 19th century. The soprano has received unanimous applause from audiences and critics alike for her performances of this repertoire in the main theatres and auditoriums.

An exceptional and charismatic artist, Sonya Yoncheva is one of the most sought-after and magnetic voices on the lyric scene, a must in the programmes of the most prestigious auditoriums and concert halls, as well as in the operatic casts of the great theatres on the circuit.

This Sunday’s recital will also be the soprano’s reunion with the Valencian public, who still remember her memorable performances of ‘La traviata’ in 2013.

Malcolm Martineau will be in charge of accompanying Sonya Yoncheva on stage this Sunday. Born in Edinburgh, he is one of the leading pianists of his generation, and has worked with great international singers such as Thomas Allen, Karita Mattila, Ann Murray, Angela Gheorghiu, Christopher Maltman and Michael Schade, among others.

For those interested, tickets for the recitals in the series ‘Les Arts és Lied’ range in price from 20 to 40 euros.
