Sonya Yoncheva is previewing roles she is looking forward to singing.

The soprano told Bachtrack that she is looking to sing such roles as “La Vestale” and “Rusalka.”

In the interview, she said, “I’ll be taking on Spontini’s ‘La Vestale.’ I would love to explore more Gluck, if I can, and ‘Anna Bolena.’ These are tough roles. I will also do some Slavic repertoire – ‘Rusalka.’ I will repeat Medea. I could certainly explore German repertoire a little bit later, Wagner for sure.”

Yoncheva was originally set to perform “Rusalka” at the Metropolitan Opera during the  2020-21 canceled season and was set to sing “Anna Bolena” in Paris but withdrew.

The soprano is set to make her role debut as Lisa in “The Queen of Spades” at the Metropolitan Opera, marking her third Tchaikovsky role, following Tatiana in Eugene Onegin” and  the title role of “Iolanta.”
