Sondra Radvanovsky encored the Barcelona audience,

On March 24, after the soprano received a massive ovation for her “La Mamma Morta” in Andrea Chenier,” the soprano encored audiences.

Radvanovsky is one of the first sopranos to encore a piece in recent history and in Barcelona. The soprano now joins Piotr Beczala, Rolando Villazon, Juan Diego Florez, and Javier Camarena as a select few to encore audiences after raves.

Radavanovsky was praised for her work by OperaWire noting, “Her characterization was an entirely credible transformation of a naive Tatyana-ish enfante gâtée into a passionate mature woman of resolution and fortitude. Vocally, Radvanovsky was even more impressive and it was difficult to believe that she was singing Maddalena for the first time.”
