Notes and Editorial Reviews
Although she came to international prominence in leading soprano roles in Italian and French operas, Krassimira Stoyanova is equally at home in the Slav repertory, a point well illustrated by her European successes as Xenia in a touring production of Dvorak’s Dimitrij under Sir Richard Hickox and by last year’s triumphant performances as Dvorak’s Rusalka at the Zurich Opera - and she has also appeared frequently in one of the most famous roles in Russian opera: Tatyana in Tchaikovsky’s Eugene Onegin. All of which is a good enough reason to present scenes from all these works as part of her new recital for Orfeo.
