Pretty Yende performs Il dolce suono from Gaetano Donizetti’s tragic opera Lucia di Lammermoor. Taken from her new album “Dreams“. You can get your copy here: Dreams can take various shapes. From love and longing in Juliette’s “Je veux vivre dans ce rêve” to delusions and desperation in Lucia’s mad scene. Through the eyes of young opera heroines Pretty Yende slips into their world of dreams with arias of the bel canto and romantic repertoire. With Dreams Pretty Yende also refers to her very own fairytale that continues to this day. From a girl in a remote town in South Africa she turned into one of the world’s most sought-after sopranos living her dream on the world’s opera stages.
