Roberto Alagna: Arias & Duets at the 25th Peralada Festival

О событии

Enjoy the wonderful performace of French tenor Roberto Alagna together with soprano Svetlana Vassileva at the Festival de Peralada.

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.

One of the world's most popular and media‐friendly tenors, Roberto Alagna will perform together with soprano Svetlana Vassileva at the Peralada Festival. The French singer will be singing opera arias and duets with his Bulgarian stage partner. They will both be accompanied by the OBC, an orchestra with very close ties to the Festival's history, conducted by David Giménez Carreras.

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.
