Opera in song by Verdi, Tchaikovsky, P. I., Lua 26 Iúil 2021, Ó (2021/2021), Holland Park, London, United Kingdom

Soprano Anush Hovhannisyan explores the music of Verdi and Tchaikovsky’s most loved heroines and the dark beauty of Armenian folk songs. La traviata and Eugene Onegin are two of the greatest operatic studies of heartbreak. This recital is designed to complement this season’s revival of La traviata and to identify the points of contact and difference between two great soprano roles. Pianists Dylan Perez and Ella O’Neill present new four-hand transcriptions of some of the finest orchestral movements from the operas, while Van Mellaerts joins Hovhannisyan on stage for the fateful encounter between Onegin and Tatyana.
