Nadine Sierra & Pretty Yende in Concert

Nadine Sierra and Pretty Yende, two of the brightest stars in the operatic firmament, join forces for a varied program of arias and duets that celebrate and reflect the joys and challenges of life. The concert, recorded live at the Paris Philharmonie in March 2023, includes composers from Rossini to Bernstein. Accompanied by “Les Frivolités Parisiennes” under the direction of Giacomo Sagripanti, the two prima donnas will perform audience favorites such as Edith Piaf's “La vie en rose” and the “Flower Duet” by Léo Delibes as well as repertoire rarities such as “Mira, o norma ...” from Bellini's opera “Norma”.
