Sonya Yoncheva (soprano)
Orquestra de la Comunitat Valenciana, Frederic Chaslin
Sonya Yoncheva is one of today’s fastest rising young opera stars. She has collaborated with many artists from the world of opera, and also cross genres: with names from the rock and pop world such as Sting and Elvis Costello, as well as with outstanding classical musicians like Plácido Domingo and Jonas Kaufmann. This debut album concentrates on a particularly appealing period, the ‘Belle Époque’ 1871 to 1914. of cultural life. The ‘Belle Époque’ eminently suits Sonya, who communicates both elegance and panache onstage, both in her distinctive, multicolored voice and her irresistible personality. The Guardian quotes "Sonya Yoncheva is surely a star in the making".
