About the programme
A Mediterranean summer night in mid-February: the Munich Radio Orchestra makes it possible! An indispensable ingredient of this “Notte Italiana” is a selection of arias full of feeling and passion – from Tosca’s heartbreaking confession “Vissi d’arte, vissi d’amore” (“I lived for art, lived for love”) to grandiose opera tunes familiar from advertisements, movies or your favourite CD. The joy of recognition is guaranteed! Instrumental preludes and dances as well as the famous Intermezzo sinfonico from “Cavalleria rusticana”, Mascagni’s drama about Sicilian peasant honor, may not be missing, of course.
About the performers
Krassimira Stoyanova, a star on all the world’s opera stages, has long been a familiar figure with the Munich Radio Orchestra. Since 2007 this versatile Bulgarian soprano has starred on such CD releases as a Verdi album, I palpiti d’amor, Verismo and a collection of arias from Slavic operas. Following her début at the Sunday Concerts, the orchestra now has the honour of accompanying her for an entire season as its artist-in-residence!
