SONDRA RADVANOVSKY — ANTHONY MANOLI

HENRY PURCELL
RICHARD STRAUSS
FRANZ LISZT
JAKE HEGGIE
UMBERTO GIORDANO

Unrivalled today in the most demanding roles in the Italian repertoire, the Canadian soprano Sondra Radvanovsky possesses an impressive voice which a supreme technique allows her to adapt to the most delicate nuances and to the interpretation of the subtlest passages. The audience will enjoy the rare privilege of admiring her, accompanied by Anthony Manoli, in an intimate, entirely personal recital, taking in two complementary poles of human experience, namely love and loss: a homage to her mother and to all the dear people to whom she owes what she has become – through the music of Purcell, Liszt, Rachmaninov, Strauss and Giordano. A song by Jake Heggie written specially for the occasion is given its European premiere.
