The weekly lunchtime concert series at the Oratory of St Francis in Valletta continues today with a recital of world-famous arias and songs from different operas.
Soprano Andriana Yordanova and her friends, Christine Dalli (mezzo-soprano) and Alan Sciberras (tenor), will be singing excerpts from Giuseppe Verdi’s Requiem, La Forza del Destino and Traviata. The packed programme also includes Saint-Saëns’s Mon Cœur s’Ouvre à Ta Voix from Samson and Delilah, Offenbach’s Hoffman’s Tales and Gounod’s Salut! Demeure Chaste et Pure… from Faust.
Audience members will also get to enjoy some all-time favourites such as Puccini’s O, Mio Babbino Caro from Gianni Schicchi, Lehar’s Vilja Lied and Delibes’s Les Filles de Cadix.
