Orchestre de l’Opéra Royal / Sonya Yoncheva

In the organizer's words:

Orchestre de l'Opéra Royal / Sonya Yoncheva

The Orchestre de l'Opéra Royal is the resident orchestra of the famous Opéra Royal du Château de Versailles, which was built on the occasion of the royal wedding of the French heir to the throne Louis XVI and the Austrian Archduchess Marie-Antoinette and inaugurated on May 16, 1770 during the wedding celebrations.

In 2026, the important orchestra from France is now celebrating its eagerly awaited debut in the Elbphilharmonie's Great Hall. Together with the Bulgarian star soprano Sonya Yoncheva, the Orchestre de l'Opéra Royal will take the audience on a journey back to the Baroque era and present a dreamlike evening of opera with works by George Frideric Handel.

The soloist Sonya Yoncheva is one of the most sought-after opera stars and performs internationally at the most important opera houses such as the Vienna State Opera, the Teatro alla Scala in Milan and the Metropolitan Opera in New York. The soprano delights audiences around the world with her incredible brilliance and warmth and is celebrated for her touching and unique voice.

For its debut at the Elbphilharmonie, the Orchestre de l'Opéra Royal also presents the rousing Concerto grosso in D major op. 6 No. 4 by the Italian composer and violinist Arcangelo Corelli, who was one of the most successful artists of the Baroque era and, like the legendary painter Raphael, is buried in the famous Pantheon in Rome.
