The Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, Domingo Hindoyan and Sonya Yoncheva share the stage at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées for a distinctive programme bringing together Britten, Martucci and Dvořák.

Founded in 1840, the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra is one of the oldest and most prestigious symphonic ensembles in the United Kingdom. Renowned for the breadth of its repertoire and the excellence of its musicians, it has enjoyed remarkable international recognition in recent years. Since 2021, Domingo Hindoyan has served as its Music Director. He has established himself as one of the most sought-after conductors of his generation, equally at home in opera and symphonic repertoire, and regularly invited by leading international houses including the Opéra de Paris and the Metropolitan Opera in New York.

For this European tour, he is joined once again by Sonya Yoncheva, one of the most prominent sopranos on today’s operatic stage. Appearing on the world’s most prestigious stages, from La Scala in Milan to the Metropolitan Opera, the Bulgarian soprano is admired for the richness of her voice and the intensity of her interpretations. Her wide-ranging repertoire spans the great heroines of Verdi and Puccini as well as major roles in the French tradition.

The concert opens with the Four Sea Interludes from Britten’s Peter Grimes, a leading figure of 20th-century British music, evoking the powerful seascapes and elemental forces at the heart of his opera. Sonya Yoncheva then performs La Canzone dei Ricordi by Giuseppe Martucci, a rare orchestral song cycle steeped in nostalgia and regarded as one of the hidden jewels of late 19th-century Italian repertoire. The evening concludes with Dvořák’s Symphony No. 8. Written in 1889, this score, with its radiant colours and prominent wind solos, is often described by the composer himself as “a little symphony of birds”, and remains one of his most beloved works.

A distinctive program led by exceptional artists.
