South African soprano Pretty Yende arrives from the Paris Opera to accompany the sick Nadine Sierra!

Pretty Yende has progressed at an amazing speed from her small hometown of Piet Retief to the top of the opera world. After debuting at the Latvian National Theater as Carmen's Micaël, she has been seen in almost all major opera houses, last season e.g. La Traviata's Violetta at the Vienna and Bavarian State Operas, Gran Teatre del Liceu and Palermo's Teatro Massimo. In addition to Vienna, the upcoming season's destinations include London's Royal Opera House, Naples' Teatro di San Carlo and Valencia's Palau de les Arts Reina Sofia, as well as his debut as a soloist with the Philharmonia Orchestra conducted by Yannick Nézet-Séguin as an interpreter of Strauss's songs.

Yende was the first singer in the history of the 2010 Belvedere competition to win the highest award in every category, after which he also won the Operalia competition in 2011. His second solo album Dreams (Sony Classical, 2017) received e.g. Opera Now magazine to praise "a delightful instrument with a vibration of youthful passion and wonderfully assured technique".

Tickets purchased for Nadine Sierra's concert on August 18, 2022 will go to Pretty Yende's concert as such. The application period for refunds is until August 30, 2022.

Eteläafrikkalaissopraano Pretty Yende saapuu Pariisin oopperasta tuuraamaan sairastunutta Nadine Sierraa!

Pretty Yende on edennyt hämmästyttävällä vauhdilla pienestä syntymäkaupungistaan Piet Retiefistä oopperamaailman huipulle. Debytoituaan Latvian kansallisteatterissa Carmenin Micaëlana hänet on nähty lähes kaikissa merkittävimmissä oopperataloissa, viime kaudella mm. La Traviatan Violettana Wienin ja Baijerin valtionoopperoissa, Gran Teatre del Liceussa sekä Palermon Teatro Massimossa. Tulevan kauden vierailukohteita ovat Wienin lisäksi Lontoon Royal Opera House, Napolin Teatro di San Carlo ja Valencian Palau de les Arts Reina Sofia, sekä debyytti Yannick Nézet-Séguinin johtaman Philharmonia Orchestran solistina Straussin laulujen tulkkina.

Yende oli 2010 Belvedere-kilpailun historian ensimmäinen korkeimman palkinnon joka sarjassa saavuttanut laulaja, minkä jälkeen hän voitti myös Operalia-kilpailun 2011. Hänen toinen sooloalbuminsa Dreams (Sony Classical, 2017) sai mm. Opera Now -lehden ylistämään ”ihastuttavaa instrumenttia, jossa on nuorekkaan intohimon värinää, sekä ihmeellisen varmaa tekniikkaa”.

Nadine Sierran konserttiin 18.8.2022 ostetut liput käyvät sellaisenaan Pretty Yenden konserttiin. Hyvitysten hakuaika on 30.8.2022 saakka.
