Evian, 6/2024. The sublime Sonya Yoncheva performs an exquisite solo recital at the 2024 Rencontres Musicales d'Évian, set on the banks of Lake Geneva! Joined by accompanist extraordinaire Malcolm Martineau, Yoncheva lends her crystalline tone and spectacular agility to standalone songs by Puccini, Martucci, Tosti, and Verdi — and then moves on to excerpts from beloved operas like the well known "Vissi d'arte" from Tosca and the heartbreaking "Un bel dì, vedremo" from Madama Butterfly. Don't miss this enchanting evening with one of the most sought-after sopranos of today's opera and concert stages, broadcast from one of the world's most extraordinary locales.
