Sonya Yoncheva is forced to cancel the upcoming production of La Juive at the Wiener Staatsoper, which was supposed to star the soprano in her title role debut. Sonya is suffering from an otisis and according to doctor’s advice can’t travel nor sing until at least August 30. With the premiere of La Juive scheduled for September 5, there was no other way than to cancel the production. Sonya is looking forward to returning to Vienna for her title role debut as Madama Butterfly in June 2023.

Sonya Yoncheva brings her acclaimed recital program Ad una Stella to the Peralada Festival on August 2, 2022. Making her festival debut, Sonya will perform with Malcolm Martineau on the piano. The program of the recital which takes place at the Carmen Church includes pieces by Duparc, Viardot, Chausson, Donizetti, Delibes, Puccini, Martucci, Tosti and Verdi.

Sonya is having a busy summer in Spain, with star turns in a concert with Plácido Domingo at the Teatro Real of Madrid and in the title role of Bellini’s Norma at the Gran Teatre del Liceu in July.

Following this recital, Sonya will be back on stage in September, making an exciting role debut as Rachel in Halévy’s La Juive, followed by the season opening gala of the Bayerische Staatoper in Munich.
