Sondra Radvanosky sings Verdi & Puccini: 25th Peralada Festival

イベント情報

Enjoy the wonderful voice of soprano Sondra Radvanosky performing works by Verdi, Puccini, Rakhmaninov, and Tchaikovsky at the Peralada Festival 2011.

The first performances at the Castell de Peralada International Music Festival took place in 1987 and since then it has been held, without exception, during the months of July and August at the historical venue of Castillo de Peralada. In 1992, it became part of the select European Festivals Association (EFA), which underlined it as a high‐quality festival on a par with other important festivals such as Bayreuth, Berlin, Florence and Salzburg. The Castell de Peralada Festival showcases recitals by famous singers, symphony and choir concerts, operas, musical theatre, dance, jazz, pop, chamber music concerts and family‐orientated performances.

Just a few days after playing the role of Floria Tosca at the Teatro Real de Madrid, the soprano Sondra Radvanovsky will be performing at Peralada. This American performer is one of today's leading female singers with New York's Metropolitan Opera House. This stunning voice will be performing at Barcelona's Gran Teatre del Liceu in a year's time starring in Verdi's Aida, a composer of whose works she has become a leading performer.

The festival actively supports Spanish composers and artists and commissions projects and musical scores with the aim of enriching the cultural variety on offer in Spain. At the same time, soloists and prestigious international ensembles from different artistic fields are invited to take part. This philosophy has allowed Peralada to enjoy a widespread fame and has positioned the festival as one of the most important cultural events in Spain during the summer period.
