Spotlight on ... Sondra Radvanovsky in the Orchestral Concert II

A real highlight of this year's programme! The Orchestral Concert II will be an opera gala, as the programme includes excerpts from major operatic works such as Peter Tchaikovsky's »Eugene Onegin« and Giuseppe Verdi's »Macbeth«, reflecting the diversity and expressive power of opera as an art form. The young conductor Finnegan Downie Dear will conduct the evening with soprano Sondra Radvanovsky, tenor SeokJong Baek, baritone Boris Pinkhasovich and the Mozarteum Orchestra Salzburg.

»Radvanovsky was extraordinary. Like Maria Callas ... she uses the slightly grainy quality of her sound to exciting dramatic purpose ... Her account ... was at once intensely anguished and surpassingly beautiful«.

The New York Times about Sondra Radvanovsky

At the centre of the evening is one of the most important sopranos of our time: Sondra Radvanovsky was trained at the Metropolitan Opera as part of the Lindemann Young Artist Development Programme. After appearing there in smaller roles, she attracted the attention of critics as Antonia in »Les Contes d'Hoffmann«. Since then, she has appeared at all the world's major opera houses, including the Royal Opera House, Teatro alla Scala, the Met and the Zurich Opera House, and has sung in concerts with leading orchestras worldwide. In recent seasons, Sondra Radvanovsky took on the title role in David McVicar's new production of »Medea« at the Metropolitan Opera and delighted audiences as Turandot at the Paris Opera. At the Deutsche Oper Berlin, she appeared in the title role in »Aida« and as Lisa in »Pique Dame«, and she also returned to the Royal Opera House in for »Andrea Chénier«. Outside of the opera stage, Sondra Radvanovsky frequently gives recitals all over the world, including at the Liceu in Barcelona and at the Festival d'Aix-en-Provence. In 2025, Sondra Radvanovsky will make her debut at the Salzburg Easter Festival with the Orchestral Concert II.
