About

In the imposing Arena di Verona, soprano Sonya Yoncheva and tenor Vittorio Grigolo present with dramatic and passionate synergy an evening of the most beautiful operatic love arias and duets in opera history. Passion that burns, consumes and sometimes kills is the central theme of this concert including arias from Roméo et Juliette by Charles Gounod as well as from Puccini´s Tosca, La bohème, Madama Butterfly and Verdi´s La traviata, all conducted by Plácido Domingo. Sonya Yoncheva has the full and vibrant timbre of a true lyrical soprano while Vittorio Grigolo, like Cavaradossi and Rodolfo, plays the cards of ardor and passion, with sweet and affectionate colors. An overall successful evening.

September 2021

Vocally, there is much to relish from two artists at home in this repertoire. Yoncheva performs with consummate artistry, her dark-hued voice consistently well-projected and even across the range. Grigolo too has an attractive tone and sings with considerable ardour, only occasionally slipping into ‘crooner’ mode on pianissimos.
