JULY ENGAGEMENTS | SONYA YONCHEVA
JULY ENGAGEMENTS: Sonya Yoncheva returns to the Bayerische Staatsoper in Munich on July 13 and 16, singing the role of Dido in Dido and Aeneas, in a production by Krzysztof Warlikowski and under the baton of Valentin Uryupin. She leads a distinguished cast that includes Günter Papendell as Aeneas, Erika Baikoff as Belinda, Rinat Shaham as Venus, John Holiday as the Sorceress, and Mira Karakhanova as the First Witch. Dido has long been one of Sonya Yoncheva’s signature roles; her most recent portrayal of the noble and ill-fated Queen of Carthage took place last autumn during a tour that included Versailles, Toulouse, Madrid, and Oviedo. The Bulgarian soprano enjoys a deep rapport with the Munich audience, having previously appeared at the Bayerische Staatsoper as Violetta, Mimì, Tosca, and Norma.
On July 18, Sonya Yoncheva stars in recital at the prestigious Perelada Festival, presenting the program from her recent best-selling recording “George”, accompanied by pianist Olga Zado. She will be joined by mezzo-soprano Ekaterine Buachidze for a selection of duets.
On July 28, Sonya Yoncheva appears at another world-renowned event, the Verbier Festival, performing the soprano solo in Rossini’s sacred masterpiece Stabat Mater, alongside mezzo-soprano Alice Coote, tenor Sunnyboy Dladla, and baritone Ludovic Tézier, under the baton of Fabio Luisi.
Her intense month of July concludes on the 31st at the Dubrovnik Summer Festival, where she presents “Ad una Stella”, a recital program she has performed to critical and audience acclaim around the world in recent years, in collaboration with pianist Malcolm Martineau.
